Surprising Interaction
The staff at Learning on the Log are very creative in finding ways to connect and interact, as well as build relationships. One of the more surprising settings for rich communication is under water. With a deep breath, we can head beneath the surface to escape any auditory or visual distractions, we can put aside any pressure to use language, and simply use our facial expressions and body language to interact. Both staff and camper exaggerate facial expression's, find creative ways to blow bubbles, and sometimes have a game of chase. There is an intensity that is created within these interactions that are hard to match above the surface, and we take every opportunity to connect this way. As much fun as it is to be flipped or thrown high in the air, the underwater exchanges create a deeper, more meaningful social experience.
