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?
Camp T-Shirt Day is Tuesday, November 8th! We invite all Gold Arrow families and staff to join us and other camps around the world as we celebrate International Wear Your Summer Camp T-Shirt Day on November 8th. Do you want to take part in the fun? It’s easy, just wear your favorite GAC shirt (or any GAC gear!), take a picture, upload it to social media, and use the hashtag #CampTShirtDay. If you tag us too (@goldarrowcamp), we’ll share some of our favorites on our Instagram. We can’t wait to see your best GAC gear! Learn more about Camp T-Shirt Day here.
The GAC Runners had another successful year at the Manhattan Beach 10K! Thank you to the campers, parents, staff, and alumni who represented GAC on the course and at the booth! There were lots of smiles from a happy runners crew. Also at this event, the winner of a free week at camp was selected from the many names of parents who completed their 2022 Parent Evaluation by September 10th! And the winner is... The Shallenberger Family. Congratulations! If your school or town hosts a running event, let us know! We love to be a part of these community events.
Join the BE RESILIENT summit to hear Sunshine talk about how Grit is Grown Outside the Comfort Zone (a topic she covers in her book HAPPY CAMPERS) on Thursday, October 20 at 11 am PT/2 pm ET.
Are you or your kids feeling overwhelmed or stressed by school, work, or life in general? Want some ideas and tools to help grow the important trait of resilience in yourselves and your kids?
Something we're passionate about at GAC is helping both parents and kids learn how to manage strong emotions, improve communication with others, and grow important character traits for flourishing - including resilience. At camp, we talk about growing grit through challenging ourselves to try new things.
Registration is officially OPEN for the Be Resilient Summit, and we hope many GAC families will join this free online event that gives kids and parents tools and ideas for being kind, managing stress and persevering through challenges.
We're so excited to share this FREE 6-day event with you!
This is an event for parents and kids! It’s totally unique.
For one full week in October, The Be Resilient Summit will let you attend daily online sessions from experts on managing frustrations, calming techniques, dealing with emotional hurricanes, how to handle boredom, having tough conversations… and so much more.
