Welcome to Camp Diller!

The 5th diller workshop was introduced with a campy feel, which included a makeshift bonfire and a large tent in the center of the room. 



We started off discussing our favorite camp memories, then transitioned to the latest SFUG assignment, 2 truths and a lie. Next, Randi, a guest speaker, presented exciting leadership opportunities in San Francisco, specifically involving the LGBTQ community. Afterwards, our JCs introduced the Diller programming template, otherwise known as "The Journey of Sticks and Marshmallows". 





We were given our first self-management assignment of planning programs for our upcoming shabbaton using the template, and right off the bat we could see the leadership that was manifesting within our cohort. 

We also got to try some delicious fruits and read about our horoscopes, in honor of the upcoming holiday of Tu B'shvat. 





We wrapped up our very fun and informative workshop with some lighthearted games, organized by the KUWTD and the Social committees. To end the meeting, we reflected on the theme of leadership and how we hoped it would develop throughout the next few workshops as we worked to organize our upcoming shabbaton.
