Interwoven: Shaping a Warrior’s Home
Special Operations Forces Families are invited to join The Station Foundation for a curated program to enhance quality conversation, cultivate deeper connection, and teach character strengths through The Station’s first Family Book Club. Participating families will read and discuss a daily chapter of Chop Wood, Carry Water by Joshua Medcalf for a month. Chop Wood, Carry Water is a powerful story about the lessons and wisdom learned through a boy’s journey to achieve his lifelong goal of becoming a samurai warrior. Together, families will learn:
- How the process of achieving greatness involves persistence and hard work
- The importance of gratitude
- Why the process is more important than the goal
- Why comparison is the thief of all joy
- How to develop mental toughness
Impactful curriculum, written by The Station staff, will guide families with meaningful questions and discussion prompts. This program has been specifically written to support the busy lives of SOF families; therefore, we ask families to dedicate 15 minutes a day to complete a daily reading and discussion assignment.
Families who complete the Book Club assignments will celebrate their accomplishment together at “Glow in the Park” at the Virginia Adventure Park on Saturday, October 12. Families will climb their favorite ziplines and climb from tree to tree on high ropes covered in fairy lights and multi-colored LED lights!
