Why Can’t School Be More Like Camp?
"Camp forever shaped me as an educator."
Kristi Tanner, Teacher and former GAC Counselor
Why can't school be more like camp? It can! For years we've heard testimonials from our counselors about how they get life-changing training at camp that helps them become fantastic parents and amazing teachers who create positive classroom communities. Camp counselors master connecting with and forming positive relationships with their campers - and they learn to coach campers on the friendship skills they need to make and keep friends. The GAC Director team is thrilled to be bringing fun, engaging "camp counselor"-style trainings to educators through GATA - the Gold Arrow Teacher Academy. The library of GATA resources is growing, with three webinars and 11 PDF resources of no-prep and low-prep connection activities now available on demand for GATA members.
