Last week, I was at a camp in Kentucky. It was amazing. I learned a lot from the speakers and the campers while having a great time.

One thing I learned during this week was the importance of "playing." Being an adult means working hard and oftentimes, this cuts into the time used to play. But this week, camp allowed me time to play, and it gave me some much needed energy.

Many times, we are too focused on business and working that we forget what it means to play—to take time out of our day for goofing off and enjoying life. Being an adult doesn't mean we have to always act like adults. Sometimes, adults need to act like kids—to joke around, play, have fun, and run around. Enjoy life.

This is something I forgot until this week. I had known that play was important, but I had not made time in my life to play recently. Being surrounded by high school students gave me a more child-like mindset.

I had the chance to play games with the campers: frisbee, volleyball, ga-ga ball (also known as octa-ball or gorilla ball), playing silly minute-to-win-it games and a new game called Moose-Moose.

After a week of camp, I had my fair share of play and it was great. Now, as I leave camp, I want to try my best to continue to make play a part of my everyday life.

After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
