Description: Ask a friend or family member to join you on a walk and talk. Remember to keep a good distance bubble if your friend is outside of your household. Set a destination (walk to the coffee shop and back?) and time frame. On your walk take turns asking “Connection Circle” questions and having you both answer. A Connection Circle is an activity we do at camp to help groups bond. We start with simple questions and get a little deeper as time goes on. Everyone stays at the same “level” (usually sitting in a circle, in this case walking by a friend) and doesn’t interrupt. Here is a list of questions to get you started, but feel free to add your own!
