The Quiet Moments at Camp

Описание: Episode Title: The Quiet Moments at Camp


Podcast: Meet Me At The Grizz


Host: Ken Clough, Scouter, Camp Volunteer, and Storyteller


Episode Summary: Some of the most meaningful moments at camp aren’t scheduled, announced, or planned. They happen in the quiet—in the pauses between activities, at the end of the day, and in those moments when Scouts are off having their own experiences and leaders are left simply being present.


In this reflective episode, Ken explores the quiet moments that shape both Scouts and leaders: looking up at a sky filled with stars and the Milky Way, watching the International Space Station glide silently overhead, listening to owls in the woods, and sharing unhurried time fishing, reading, playing games, or sitting around a fading campfire. These moments of stillness create space for perspective, independence, and connection.


Recorded during a moment of stillness, this episode looks at how the quiet moments at camp—often overlooked—leave a lasting impact. For Scouts, they build confidence and self-awareness. For leaders, they offer calm, perspective, and a rare chance to slow down. Sometimes, the quiet moments aren’t a break from camp—they are camp.
