Episode 92: The Positive Impact of Camp with Echo

Cady "Echo" Latt shares her GAC story, which started back in 2008 when she attended a one week "Nuggets" program after she had finished Kindergarten. After 10 years as a camper, Echo joined as a Junior Counselor. She's now in her 5th year on staff. This year, Echo joins Sneaks in heading up our  Junior Counselor Program. In this longer conversation than our typical podcast chat, Echo and Sunshine talk about the benefits of camp, how camp has shaped her, and how much teens especially benefit from time at camp.
