The First PLAY-by-PLAY
By Lisa Horn
The Play-by-Play? Does that mean we are going to give you every little detail minute by minute from camp? I wish. Every minute at camp is pure joy and I could easily look around and share something amazing happening at any given moment. But that would make for a reeeeeeeeeally long blog and a really short return-reader list. Nope, this is just a place to tell one really good story from camp. A story about PLAY written by PLAY. PLAY, by PLAY. See what I did there?
We regularly post on Facebook and Instagram but how can you tell a story in 2 or less sentences?! And we send out a newsletter after every camp, but that’s just the highlights we can fit in a paragraph or two. But there’s always one truly powerful story that comes out of each camp and we want to be able to share it with you in a way that goes deeper and reveals the beautiful ways that PLAY is impacting these children.
The stories will be about real kids who were at camp but we will always change the names to protect their privacy. Also, any accompanying pictures will not necessarily be the child we are writing about, again to protect their privacy. If we’re so worried about privacy, why are we sharing at all? Because PLAY works. When we say that PLAY is transforming lives in 5 days, we want to show you with concrete examples of how it is doing just that.
The story may be told by me, Lisa, the Founder and Executive Director of PLAY, or it could be told by our Program Director Lawrence, or one of our camp facilitators, or a past camper, or a mission team member who came to serve at camp. You never know who will sit by the fire and share a story with you, so pull up a log, listen with your heart, and get the PLAY-by-PLAY…
