Twelve fortunate youngsters were able to take part in this summer’s Vision Camp hosted by Kristin Moncrief of OptiGo By TwixnBetween and the City of Toledo. The Vision Camp, a six-day experience spread over two weeks, took place from June 24 to July 3 at The Truth Colours Gallery – located in the Minority Way building at the corner of Bancroft and Franklin.
The young campers spent their time learning about a variety of subjects and disciplines as described by the V.I.S.I.O.N. acronym – versatility, inspiration, specific, innovation, obtainable, noteworthy.
The adults leading the sessions, along with Moncrief, were Jodie Summers, Amber Phillips and Kenga Jackson, in addition to visiting instructors. Thess leaders took the youth on a tour of subjects that included music, robotics, 4H, art, among others, and also encouraged practices to heighten their experiences such as affirmations and journaling.
On the final day, the students, along with their families, were treated to a barbecue feast catered by KDs Barbecue.
“When your Vision and Mission align, magic happens — and this week was proof!
The kids tapped into their creativity, discovered their strengths, and built bonds that will hopefully last beyond the summer,” said Moncrief.
