The Alliance for Camp Health in partnership with the American Camp Association and the H.E. Butt Foundation had a solid launch to the first CampWell training completed at an ACA Sectional conference. The Rocky Mountain ACA conference was an ideal spot for the training, views of Pikes Peak in the distance as we gained insight and tools on how to create communities of well-being.

John Hamilton, CSEO for the Alliance for Camp Health, and Dr. Laurie Browne, Senior Director of Research and Education for the American Camp Association, led the training, exploring the evidence based practices which support a community of well-being. CampWell is a six-hour skills-based, in-person, multi-tiered, training course that guides participants to identify, understand, cultivate, and create a community of well-being. Created in collaboration with the American Camp Association and supported by the H.E. Butt Foundation the CampWell training program aims to help all be well at camp and seeks to create consistent care across the spectrum of all summer learning spaces. As an immersive learning program CampWell is uniquely designed to help leaders shape programs that incorporate the tools, self-awareness, and understanding needed to enhance the experience and safety for all. 

All participants in the course received a copy of the ACH MESH Resource Guide, the slide deck for use in their own program trainings as well as a 1 year membreship to ACH.

Upcoming CampWell trainings include ACA New England, and the Spring Leadership Conference. Join us in this significant work!
