How often do you find yourself dealing with student and parent issues that they can handle on their own? Would you like a framework for guiding your students and parents to know what to deal with themselves and when to seek your guidance? Many students (and parents) do not know how to appropriately assess the seriousness of their challenges and discern when it's necessary to seek your assistance, so they contact you about every problem, no matter how small.

Creek Fire Update

October 27, 2020

  Hello GAC Community, We were overwhelmed by your outpouring of love and offers of help during the Creek Fire. Your reaching out was a reminder to us of how important and impactful camp has been in your lives. During the fire, when we did not know the direct impact the fire would have on GAC or what help we might need in the future, we directed people who offered us financial support to donate to the Red Cross, which did important work supporting the immediate needs of our mountain community - many of whom lost homes or were evacuated for many weeks. Now that the smoke has settled and we’ve been able to enter camp and assess the damage, we have a way for you to help GAC. While we are thankful that most of our buildings and trees were spared, GAC did not escape the Creek Fire unscathed. The fire burned strongly in the western half of GAC, the area known as “Mirimichi.” The fire destroyed several old Boy Scout structures (from the camp that was formerly on the site) and two of our newer storage sheds - the Horse Tack Shed and the Granite Grove Shed, both of which were storing program equipment. All of our mountain bikes, hammock structures, tables and chairs for our Granite Grove dances and dinner parties, and horse program supplies were burned beyond recognition.

Tell Your Story

October 5, 2020

How has GAC impacted your life?

One of the most common things we hear at Gold Arrow Camp from campers and staff is how much GAC has impacted their lives and shaped who they are today. GAC is a magical place where campers and staff experience the benefits of pushing themselves outside of their comfort zone and connecting face-to-face. There are many ways that GAC impacts our lives and we want to hear YOUR story!  Tell us your story and we will share those stories on our website and social media! Please submit your stories here and email any photos or questions to mail@goldarrowcamp.com. We hope to hear from you soon!

This is Rachel's GAC Story (Camper 2012-2019):

I was 9 years old my first year and every single day I cried from homesickness. Then every single year after that I returned for even longer sessions and just fell in love and grew less and less homesick. Gold Arrow Camp has truly become my home away from home. It is the only place where I can be truly happy and be my very own self. If I could spend my time in one place, it’d be GAC. Without camp I would not have the confidence, the social skills, the friends, and overall the happiness I have today.
