From Our Blog
Positive Psychology & Summer Camp
In this latest blog post, CL intern Coriann (who is studying psychology at Bay Path University), reflects on her own experiences at an overnight summer camp she attended for many years, and how the study of Positive Psychology - which includes practicing gratitude, acts of kindness, and developing her own strengths - can be found woven into every day life at camp.
As Coriann writes, "My experiences at camp helped me to more positive throughout my life, and I am grateful for that."
