We have many articles and stats we could share with you about why it is so important, but the best way to know is to hear from campers themselves. Here, longtime camper Julia shares about why summer camp is so important and the things that are learned while being there.

My Love For Gold Arrow Camp by Wyatt

My Love For Gold Arrow Camp by Wyatt

To put this simply, we have the best campers around! Our campers are so passionate about Gold Arrow and the skills and lessons they take away with them each summer. Summer camp is about more than just having fun, it's about growing as an individual and pushing yourself to try new things. Each camper takes away from camp something different, but the most important part is that they are each growing as individuals and sharing their discoveries with their families and friends. Check out Wyatt's school presentation about his love for Gold Arrow. It is so amazing seeing his happiness while speaking about GAC to his peers.
