We love it when siblings enjoy Gold Arrow Camp together. Meet sisters Brooke "Waves" and Jojo "Mojo" Friedman. Waves, who is in her 10th year at GAC, is an Activity Counselor working primarily on the waterfront this summer. Mojo, in her 9th year, was a Junior Counselor this summer.
In addition to their shared love of camp, the Friedman sisters are also making a remarkably positive impact in the world through the non-profit they founded during the pandemic, She Styles. In this interview, hosted by Bravo, Waves and Mojo share their stories!

Join Sunshine's conversation with Luke "Vision" Beshoff, the Rock Climbing and Ropes Course Program Head this summer. Vision started as a camper at GAC in 2012 and has now been on staff for four summers. Vision is incredibly positive and enthusiastic about camp and his experiences here. He describes in detail the activities that fall under the "Rocks and Ropes" category here at camp, and how each of them offers amazing opportunities for campers and staff to get outside their comfort zones and grow! Vision also shares how he's started appreciating different aspects of camp as he's gotten older.
