Join us on September 9 at 5pm PT/8pm ET as we gather to discuss how to create a positive classroom culture and keep it going throughout the year.

We know that students and teachers are getting ready to head back to school this fall and many of them will be doing so without actually going to their schools. Distance learning is difficult, and it can be especially challenging to build a vibrant and connected classroom community over screens. Gold Arrow Camp is here to help! We know that our community includes many educators, as well as parents, who may want their children's schools to be more like camp. This fall, we're going to share what we learned about building online communities from the online leadership academies for elementary, middle school, and high school students that we successfully provided this summer. Join the Gold Arrow Teacher Academy (GATA) for a monthly Webinar, weekly Teacher Talks, and no-prep or low-prep connection activities delivered to your email inbox weekly from the experts at fun, friendship, and growth.

We love seeing how camp impacts our campers all throughout the year. Whether they are telling us or telling others, it makes us happy knowing the lasting effects that camp has on our campers. Enjoy Spencer's wonderfully written poem about early morning wakeboarding and the emotions behind his determination.   If you or your camper has something they would like to share with the GAC community, please email it to us at mail@goldarrowcamp.com! We would love to hear from you.

Have you ever wondered about the importance of sleepaway camp? 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. If you or your camper has something they would like to share with the GAC community, please email it to us at mail@goldarrowcamp.com! We would love to hear from you.
