For the past three years I have told stories at a sport camp in Florida where the weather is hot and it rains almost everyday of the summer. Aside from getting the kid out of the rain or sun, storytelling can give them down time for their bodies and up time for their imagiantions. Winning isn't everyting, concideration of others, meeting challenges, believing in self, try your hardest, are only a few of the themes we can address through story.
