The fall is a season filled with holidays that involve family gatherings and time for reflection. In November we dedicate an entire holiday to look back and realize how much we have to be thankful for.

This summer at camp we combined character development with summer fun in our “Go BIG: Be In Gratitude” initiative. Each day, campers engaged in a wide variety of activities, rituals and traditions that helped them become stronger, healthier and more resilient. We built upon family values and made character a part of our daily camp rituals, and focused on our 8 ESF Virtues: Gratitude, Respect, Kindness, Positivity, Trustworthiness, Effort, Resiliency and Community.

Even though summer is over, we take the time each day to “Go BIG” and practice Being In Gratitude here at Headquarters. For the entire month of November, we decided to take a moment every day to reflect on what we are grateful for as a company. Each day we plan to share on social media the things (big and small) that keep us going, make us smile and affect our lives for the better.

Feel free to follow along on Facebook and Instagram with our 30 Days of Gratitude project, and take the time each day to remind yourself what you have to be thankful for in your life!
