Be Resilient Summit for Parents and Kids!
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.
