Part I: Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Camp Fire

A reunion held for counselors and campers last weekend reminded me that everything I ever needed to know I learned as a Camp Fire Girl.

Part I: the Blue Bird Wish

To have fun.


To learn to make all sorts of things.

To remember to finish what I begin.

To want to keep my temper in.

And to learn of nature and living outdoors.


To have adventures with everyone.

To go to places and learn how it's done.

To make friends.

Learned in my Blue Bird group in Findlay, Ohio before I was 10 years old and isn't this still a pretty good wish! Stay tuned for Part 2.
