“Did tiny green elephants with wings oh-so-blue fly off with the cookies and leave none for you?” 

I love that line, from Sandra Boynton’s book What’s Wrong Little Pookie?, because it makes absolutely no sense.  It reminds me of that scene in Miracle on 34th Street when Mr. Kringle coaches young Susie on the ins-and-outs of pretending to be a monkey, underarm scratching and all, in order to help develop her imagination.

Imagination coach — now isn’t that a fun role for a grandparent — encouraging your grandchildren to make believe and pretend outrageously?

It may make you feel silly, but developing a child’s imagination has tremendous benefits throughout life. In fact, this ability to dream will fuel innovation in business, ministry or whatever path your grandchildren take.

As a grandparent you can fertilize the soil of imagination, helping your grandchildren’s dreams grow and flourish.

Yet thousands of military kids with deployed parents are living their lives on rocky ground, leaving little space to plant the seeds of imagination.  You can till and fertilize this soil for these kids.  Military Kids GrandCamp provides these kids a respite that allows them to dream and equips their grandparents to be imagination coaches.

When you sponsor a military child and one set of their grandparents at Military Kids GrandCamp, you provide them both with an experience that allows them to unleash their imaginations and dream again.  For, as actress Josie Bisset proclaimed, “dreams come a size too big so we can grow into them.”
