   The Start of a (Camp) Life Together

   Seeing great people build a life together is an amazing thing. That its also happening when you are helping to run camp together for the first time adds to the fun.

   A Spark of Wonder

   I’ve enjoyed working with and supporting Focus for a Future for many summers. The work they do introduces, as one great camp guy describes it, a spark of wonder for all the children at camp. My friend, Andy Newberg, joins me around the campfire to give us the inside scoop on all the great outcomes Focus for a Future and their volunteers create for kids.
