The Got Spirit? curriculum invites youth to explore various ancient Christian spiritual practices as a way to understand how we encounter the spirit of God in our everyday lives.  The six daily discoveries cover the themes of wonder, gratitude, hospitality, generosity, worship, and living in Christ’s love.  Each discovery includes biblical/theological background and ideas for exploring daily themes and scripture (tied to the multiple intelligences) as well as worship resources and suggested spiritual practices.  What I like best about this curriculum, besides the focus on spirituality, is that it is written specifically for a camp setting and for an ecumenical audience.
