Welcome to Camp Judea Heart Girl! The sun is shining, and the grass is soft. Heart Girl stands by the big camp sign, ready for a day of fun. She is wearing her favorite pink dress, her red cape covered in hearts, and her shiny crown. "Today," she says with a twirl, "I am going to teach you all how to be Heart Girls and Heart Heroes!"
The first lesson is about being a good helper. Heart Girl sees Teddy, the brown bear, looking for his lost honey pot. "A Heart Girl always helps a friend in need," she says. She takes Teddy’s hand and leads him toward the tall bushes to search together.
Teddy was a little bit sad because he couldn't find his snack, but then Rosy the kitty arrived. Rosy is a fluffy white kitten, and she is always carrying a beautiful red rose. She offers the rose to Teddy to make him feel better. Kindness is like a flower that grows in your heart!
Next, it is time for the Sharing Circle. Heart Girl sits on a soft blanket with Key Paw, Teddy’s baby brother. Key Paw is a tiny baby bear wearing a small blue Kippah on his head. Heart Girl has a basket of sparkly stickers and shows Key Paw how much fun it is to give one away.
Key Paw learns very fast! He turns to Rainbow Bear, who is wearing a puffy colorful tutu. Key Paw shares his sticker with Rainbow Bear, and they both giggle. Sharing makes everyone’s heart feel light and happy, just like a rainbow.
Now it is time to learn about being gentle. Heart Girl finds Belle, the grey baby kitten with white paws. Belle is very small and likes to move quickly. Heart Girl shows Belle how to sit very still so a tiny, magical butterfly can land on her nose.
Belle sees her friend Figaro, the all-grey baby kitten. Figaro is feeling a little shy. Belle reaches out with her white paw and gives Figaro a soft pat. "Being gentle means being a good friend," Belle whispers. Figaro smiles a tiny, kitten smile.
The biggest lesson of all is Bravery! Heart Girl leads Rainbow Bear to the balancing beam. It looks a little bit high, but Heart Girl cheers. "You can do it! A Heart Girl is brave enough to try new things!" Rainbow Bear takes a deep breath and steps up.
At the end of the day, everyone gathers around. Heart Girl holds a special ceremony. She walks up to Rosy and gives her a big hug. "You have all learned to be kind, brave, and helpful," Heart Girl says. "You are all officially part of the Heart Girl club!"
The sun begins to set over Camp Judea Heart Girl. Figaro the grey kitten trots up to Heart Girl and gives her a high-five. Everyone feels full of love and friendship. Being a Heart Girl is the best thing in the whole wide world!
