Chapel & Tree Talks

A community is strengthened when it comes together to reflect on its values and practices. One way Pasquaney does this is through weekly Tree Talks and Chapel Talks. In a Tree Talk, a counsellor draws on their experience to explain a life lesson from which they think campers will benefit. Similarly, on Sundays during the Chapel service, the Director or a senior counsellor will deliver a Chapel Talk on one of Pasquaney’s core values like honesty, seizing opportunity, courage, and kindness.

Working on being deliberate with my attention has allowed me to be present with the moments that matter the most to me. It’s allowed me to more deeply engage with the things of my life that I care about. But most of all, focusing your attention is important because your life is where your attention is.Wesley Richardson2023 Tree Talk
