The Theme is Adventure: Camp, Philosophy and Hobbits!

We have begun reading the Hobbit. Of course it is a book of great adventure, risk taking, amazing learnings and incredible rewards. Unpacking the them in our Philosophy for Children session (P4C) we came up with questions and considerations and then noted that we have experienced many of the same things at camp last week. Amazing challenges and wonderful rewards!

Examples of the questions we asked: *What happens when we accept the call to adventure? * Why do we fear the unknown? *Why do we focus on our fears and the negatives? *Can we change fate? *How much are our lives determined by free choice? It is interesting to reflect on our real life experiences and compare them to the experiences and adventures of characters such as Bilbo Baggins.
