All About Wampum BeadsCamp Potawotamis wampum beads give campers
agoal to work toward after camp is over. Campers pickone of our
nine key values that theyd like to work onin the year ahead. If
they feel they have improved inthat value area, they will accept a
different value bead
the next summer. While these values are things thatwe should
never stop working on, the wampum beadsserve as a reminder of the
values were focusing onimproving the most, and remind us to
continue to im-prove and grow every day. Are you wearing your
wam-pum beads and working on your focus value?
