Day One at JC 2012


We explored the vocabulary of justice work.  Rev. Wendy came by and discussed how to be an ally.  She shared some of her experiences from her arrest during the July 2010 protest.  The campers shared some personal examples of how they have been or could be allies.  We made Wordles (wordle.net) using justice words and we made circles of caring (we identified how we care about ourselves, our families, our communities, and our world).



We also learned about transportation.  Joe Bowar from the City of Phoenix Transportation Department shared some insightful statistics about who uses public transportation and why they do.  The campers planned some public transportation trips, including one we took today.  We found out that the #8 bus will take you to 5521 N. 7th Ave., where Mary Coyle’s Ice Cream Parlor is located.  We enjoyed some delicious ice cream sundaes as our afternoon snack – most everyone thought this was the best part of the day.



SS taught us how to play Green Glass Door, a riddle game.  Here is your clue for today:  UUs, but not Unitarian Universalists, can go through the door.
