One day the following week he didn't 42 to camp．Many of the kids had come up to me and asked me 43 he was and if he was OK．When I told them he stayed home then and that he didn't think anyone 44 him, some of the kids had a 45 look on their face because they knew they hadn't made him feel 46 Thankfully this camper 47 the next day．As he walked over to the area where our group of kids were in the morning times, the entire group stood up and clapped and 48 for him．All that day, the kids asked him to 49 with them at lunch, be on their teams for games, and stayed in 50 with him when we moved to new activities．The．rest of that day, he was happy．
I had the pleasure of 51 his mother a few days ago, and she gave me the biggest hug and thanked me for helping him to 52 ．She said, "My son told me that you are the instuctor who's always 53 to make him feel welcome, and he knows that you 54 care for him．And last week for the first time since he's been here, he didn't call me to pick him up 55 from camp．Thank you．"
