In HEHD 8880 - Special Topics In Youth Development, we explored the concept of "Youth in Nature" and studied Nature Deficit Disorder. We were asked to reflect on how nature has played a role in our lives and our careers. I've always been an "indoor kid in an outdoor setting." This particular assignment allowed me to view how nature has shaped my camping experiences and how I interact with my volunteer camp staff. I learned about the spirituality and connectedness to nature and how I can bring that magic to the children and volunteers at the Arthritis Foundation.
