Happy Camper Corner! 

Each month, we'll share some news from prominent camping associations or tips and tricks for our counselors. This month enjoy two articles shared on the ACA website.

Anxiety is a Virtue?

Marcia Ellett talks about how to reframe views of mental health from something that can go wrong to instead maintaining a "positive state of health." Read how learning from anxiety can be used as an awareness tool instead of something to avoid or run from.

Fighting for Wellness: Youth Thrive When You Do

Brittany Patterson reiterates that "you can't pour from an empty cup." She talks about how to avoid burnout imposter fatigue and highlights how to feel unbreakable and powerful in a world that often focuses on flaw and problems.

Do you know of a company that would like to have Camp Rainbow Gold present to their staff? We would love to share about our camps, programs and volunteer opportunities! Please email stacie@camprainbowgold.org if you know of a business who may be interested.

According to the ACA Camp Crisis Hotline, mental health issues were a large concern at camps this year. If you or a loved one are struggling please reach out and know that you matter a great deal to our CRG community.

Hidden Paradise is covered in snow! Two moose have discovered the camp and have been spending time at the property. Blake has been enjoying the long, snow days!
