GAC Virtual Assemblies are Back!

January 18, 2023

Summer seems so far away so we thought we would bring some GAC to you now with our virtual assemblies! If you're new to GAC or need a refresher, most days (unless on outpost), campers will attend Morning Assembly at our beautiful outdoor amphitheater. After breakfast, the entire camp community gathers for announcements, games, songs, and fun before heading off to their first activity for the day. For cabins who arrive early, an optional dance party on stage is always a camper favorite. From February through June, campers, parents, and staff are welcome to join us on the first Wednesday of each month at 4pm for a GAC Virtual Assembly. A reminder and link will be emailed to camp families prior to each assembly. We hope you'll join us!

I Heart Camp Day is February 1st!

January 1, 2023

We invite our GAC families and friends to join us in celebrating I Heart Camp Day on Wednesday, February 1st! If you're nervous that you don't have any I Heart Camp decorations and haven't been invited to a big I Heart Camp Day block party, don't worry! Celebrating this day doesn't require a trip to the party store. It just requires you to love camp and to be willing to share that love. Just take a picture of yourself holding a sign that says "I Heart Camp" (you could use the picture at the top of this story if you need inspiration) and then post it on your favorite social media on February 1st. Tag us (@goldarrowcamp) and use the hashtag #IHeartCamp. We'll share yours on our social media accounts! We love seeing everyone from staff to campers to alumni to parents getting involved!

Celebrate World Kindness Day!

November 1, 2022

Join us in celebrating WORLD KINDNESS DAY!

Hi Camp Families & Staff, With the holidays quickly approaching, it's a great chance for us to focus on small acts of kindness we can do to bring positive changes to the world. Did you know that people around the world celebrate kindness on November 13? It's World Kindness Day! And, for those of you who would like to make kindness a focus for longer than just a day, how about practicing kindness for the next 30 days?

Want to join us for 30 Days of Kindness?

All you need to do is commit to doing 30 kind acts over the next 30 days. You can participate as an individual or as a family! Here are ideas of what you can do: • Commit to doing at least ONE daily kindness (DK) each day. These can be small acts of kindness or big ones - an encouraging sticky note to a parent or sibling or a bigger project. You can do the same thing every day - like writing one thank you note or text each day - or you can pick any combo of different kindness acts. • Consider doing (alone or with your family) a bigger Weekend Kindness Challenge (WKC). You can find ideas of people to write notes of appreciation to on our printable Kindness "BINGO" board! Keep track ... Read more
