Respect

\ri-ˈspekt\

Noun: a feeling or understanding that someone or something is important, serious, etc., and should be treated in an appropriate way

Respect is a big concept for children to grasp. It is a critical life-long value that all successful people possess and master. As part of the High 5 Program, we guide our campers in understanding how to act with respect for others and the importance of self-respect.

When we hear our leadership team and campers talking about what respect (and the High 5 Program) “looks” like, or how they earned their respect achievement, they say:

• “How you treat someone”
• “Not calling people mean names”
• “Listening to counselors and not talking back”
• “Caring for the environment”
• “Talking through things and listening to the other person even if you don’t agree”
