Voicemail Series: When A Camp Counselor Feels Down, A Camper Comes To The Rescue

Fern K. is a camp counselor in Massachusetts and recently went through a particularly difficult break up with her partner. Understandably, she was feeling down. That’s when a camper took it upon herself to do what Fern calls “the nicest thing anyone has ever done” for her. And the best part? The camper was only 12 years old. It’s never too early to teach kindness.

And I think that was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. And it’s my new little companion at night.
