Unplug With GAC

February 1, 2019

The National Day of Unplugging is right around the corner, and Gold Arrow Camp is thrilled to be taking part in this event yet again. We're going to be among the 112,000 people who have pledged to unplug for 24 hours starting at sundown on Friday, March 1st. You know how we feel about technology in the summer, and we think it's important to take a break during the rest of the year as well. If you visit the National Day of Unplugging website, you can sign a pledge to unplug, and they'll even send you a sleeping bag for your phone! We hope to hear from you (after the 2nd!) about your unplugged day. If you need ideas for what to do, start with this post about making dinner more like a campfire. That will get your 24 hours off to a great start!

Parent Handbooks Are Coming!

January 28, 2019

Every year parents and campers alike wait next to their mailboxes, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Gold Arrow Camp Parent Handbook. We know how much joy the handbook brings to the lives of our camp families, and so we're pleased to announce that it will soon be headed to your home. Keep an eye on your snail mail for this year's edition! It's full of information on bus stops, packing for camp, a "parent to-do list" and a summer calendar!

Once again, the GAC Runners will be headed to Newport Beach on March 17th, 2019, for the 36th annual Spirit Run. This race is a favorite for us as we get to see so many long-time GAC families and campers at the expo. There are races for all ages and skill levels. We'd love to have you join us for the Spirit Run. Details and registration information are available here. More information about the GAC Runners program is available here.

2019 Dance Themes!

December 6, 2018

One of the highlights at the end of each session is our dance at Granite Grove. After dinner, campers head back to their cabins to clean up and get dressed up in costumes to match the theme of the dance. Then, as cabins, they head down past the waterfront to dance the night away under the lights and a ceiling of stars at Granite Grove. There are group dance favorites, like Footloose and Tragedy, along with snacks and our photo booth. At the end of the evening, campers head back to get ready for bed, exhausted and elated at the same time! Here are the themes for 2019!
