Made by camp people\, for camp\, people\, CampWell is an interactive\, experiential\, multi-day training program that equips camp leaders to build a culture of well-being across every layer of their community. It is designed to help program directors and leaders identify\, understand\, cultivate\, and create a community of well-being at camp by shaping trainings and programs that incorporate the tools\, self-awareness\, and understanding needed to enhance the experience and safety for all. CampWell delivers immersive learning\, actionable tools\, and a multi-tiered framework that strengthens individual\, communal\, and organizational wellness. The course is a collaboration between the Alliance for Camp Health (ACH) and American Camp Association\, New England.

This September 2025 offering may be the only time the training is offered in the region prior to summer 2026\, so don’t wait too long to register! \nThe CampWell project definition for wellbeing at camp: Wellbeing is characterized by physical\, mental\, social\, emotional\, environmental and/or spiritual health\, at the individual and organizational level. When all are well\, they participate fully and contribute in the ways they choose because they are safe\, supported\, and connected. \nThe full CampWell training will include a pre-conference Zoom session and two days of in-person sessions at Camp Wingate*Kirkland in Yarmouth Port\, MA. \nWho is this training for? Program directors and leaders who will incorporate the concepts\, skills\, and tools they learn into their camp’s staff training for frontline summer staff. We highly encourage and recommend camps send two representatives so you can work together to implement what you learn at your camp! \nWhen is the training?

You do not have to participate in a level one to take this Level Two training.] – When camp leaders have participated in CampWell their staff will be safe\, supported\, connected\, and contributing.\nLevel Three: Executives\, Owners and Administrators – When owners and executives participate in CampWell they have the ability to foster a culture where all can be well at camp.\n\nQuestions\, reach out Gillian Gold\, Events & Logistics Coordinator at gillian@acanewengland.org or 781-541-6080 ext. 106. \n\nWhat people are saying about CampWell \nAs a pilot test site for CampWell\, Sonlight Camp took away a solid set of tools to enhance the work of creating a healthy camp community. We got affirmation of practices that are rooted in our culture\, and CampWell provided additional tools and language to address the growing mental\, emotional and social health issues that we see in campers and staff members.  Rocky Mountain has a unique opportunity this fall to engage in the work of ACH and be intentional about creating communities of well-being.  – Mary Marugg\, RN\, WFR-Founding Director / Interim Director Sonlight Camp \nWe can prove with our 90% retention of staff that they feel well taken care of here. Our staff feel safe\, supported\, and connected. Without CampWell\, our staff would quit. They were leaving and not coming back\, and now they’re here.  – Camp Behavioral Health Specialist (LCSW) \nWhat we liked about CampWell is that it wasn’t a reaction to the mental health challenges\, it was a holistic approach to well-being. It offered a path forward where we felt like we could build skills to actually prevent challenges from happening and give our staff and participants some resilience and skills in order to help them face challenging times.  – Camp executive who has been part of the CampWell program for two years \n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nWhy Send Two? \nCampWell invites organizations to consider sending at least two individuals to maximize potential for impact. Investing in collaborative implementation not only demonstrates your organization’s commitment to the CampWell principles\, it increases knowledge retention\, reduces single points of failure\, and encourages collaborative problem-solving and broader acceptance of cultural change within your organization. Training more than one staff member improves the likelihood of maintaining and sustaining well-being practices if/when your program experiences changes in staffing. \n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAbout the Instructors\nJohn Hamilton\, MA – John is a strategic leader in the camp and out-of-school time (OST) space. He currently serves as Chief Strategy Officer for the Alliance for Camp Health. John has a deep understanding of mental\, emotional\, and social health (MESH +) of youth and national program expansion. Prior to ACH he served as the national director for Camp HOPE America. John has an MA in Leadership and Cultural Justice\, is the founder of the Outdoor Wellbeing Lab\, and is a former executive director of a camp near Lake Tahoe. \n  \n \nEmo Castle is a dedicated nurse with over 30 years of experience\, specializing in pediatric emergency medicine and camp health.

She is also an education advocate for youth with special needs and a certified Adult Mental Health First Aid Instructor.

He got his start in Camps at Camp Nashoba North in 1994 & has worked in many environments; therapeutic-adventure with Outward Bound\, Classroom-based with the Exeter Alternative High School\, and has been working with youth and adults as an educational consultant at The Browne Center as well as teaching at UNH since 2010. Jeff holds a B.S. in Outdoor Education and Psychology from UNH and an M.S. in Experiential Education from The University of Minnesota. When not at work\, Jeff spends as much time adventuring as possible: surfing\, kayaking\, SUPing\, backcountry snowboarding\, MTB and road biking\, and spending QT with his wife\, Steph and dog\, Salty. \n  \n\nAmy Boyd – Amy is the CEO and Founder of coaching service C.O.G.S. Connections\, and a qualified Level 7 Life Coach specialising in personal and professional development for adults and adolescents. All of our coaching frameworks are centred around Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to champion social emotional health and wellbeing. Amy is an international public speaker delivering topics to help others overcome limiting beliefs\, and adopting a positive mindset through EQ. She guides audiences to find their voice\, drawing on her system to support the development of EQ: ‘SEL S.E.E. M.E. Mind Mastery’ through awareness\, authenticity and the telling of anecdotes\, which incite courageous conversations to leave them with life-enhancing takeaways. \n\n\n\n\n\nDoug Sutherland – Originally from St. Louis\, MO\, Doug moved to New Hampshire to work directly with children and adults in the outdoors. Summer camp is Doug’s happy place. Currently\, he is working as a DEI Facilitator and Consultant and he is a member of the ACA\, New England Board. His love of camp comes after family\, friends\, and building enriching communities. Actually\, this is pretty similar to camp. \n  \n  \n  \nElizabeth Snell – Elizabeth\, New England’s Director of Accreditation Services\, works with all things Accreditation and the New Camp Director Workshops. \nElizabeth grew up in Long Pond Pennsylvania. Starting as a camper at age 8\, she never left camp.  After a short time in Indiana\, she was very excited to come back east to work at ACA\, New England. \nElizabeth has a B.A. in English from Alvernia College\, MS.Ed in Sport Management from East Stroudsburg University and a Masters in Camp Administration from Indiana University. \n  \n  \n \nAmelia Luke – If you call the ACA\, New England office\, you’ll likely hear Amelia’s friendly voice on the other end. However\, as ACA New England’s Operations Coordinator\, you can think of her as a Jane of all trades\, dabbling in many of the projects that the team works on. Amelia’s camp experience began at age 4 when she attended Wanakee in Meredith\, New Hampshire for the first time– she hasn’t looked back since. Amelia attended camp every summer after and served five summers on staff at Wanakee in varying roles from Counselor to Operations Director. \nHer passion for camp is\, in part\, what inspired her to pursue a Masters in Public Administration at the University of Vermont\, after earning her B.S. in Public Communications there.

SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid
DESCRIPTION:Mental Health First Aid \n(VIRTUAL COURSE: Self-paced pre-work and live virtual course) \nMental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing that is designed to give you key skills to help an adult who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. Whether you’re looking to support a colleague\, your camp counselors\, family and friends\, or other members of your community…this virtual course is for you. \nThis course is offered in a two-part format and both components must be completed to earn your certification: \n\n2 hours of virtual self-paced pre-work must be completed by Thursday\, February 23\n6-hour live\, instructor-led virtual course from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm on Tuesday\, February 28 (you must be fully present with the ability to have a camera and microphone on throughout the course)\n\nWhat will participants learn? MHFA Certification teaches participants to identify\, understand\, and respond to signs of mental health and substance abuse challenges among adults. You will learn: common signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges; how to interact with a person in crisis how to connect a person with help and resources; ways to support a person thinking about suicide. \nParticipants do not learn to diagnose\, nor how to provide any therapy or counseling – rather\, participants learn to support an individual developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis by applying a core five-step action plan. \nWho should take this course? The course is designed for anyone 18-years of age or older who would like to add to their toolbox for supporting folks with mental health concerns. This would be great for camp leaders to provide support to their adult staff members. This is a standalone certification\, but if you’re already certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid\, this complements that as well. \nAbout the instructor: \nEmily Golinksy\, is the Founder of Bright Moose\, LLC\, which provides training\, coaching\, consultation and professional development to camps\, organizations and individuals guided by the motto “Help Others Shine Bright!” Her professional background includes over two decades of year-round and summer camp leadership in both day and residential environments for children in crisis\, special needs youth\, and traditional campers\, including 15 years as Executive Director at Camp Starfish (NH). Emily is a regular presenter at conferences and is active in ACA\, New England\, where she is a Lead Visitor\, conference committee member\, and member of the Faculty for the New Camp Directors Workshop. Emily is on the Board of Directors for NHCamps and is a contributor to Camping Magazine\, ParentingNH\, the Project Real Job Blog\, and the Day Camp Pod. She holds a BS in Health Psychology and an MS in Camp Administration and Leadership. She is also an education advocate for youth with special needs and a certified Adult Mental Health First Aid Instructor. Emily’s sense of humor and genuine warm connection to individuals comes through in her facilitation style. Fair warning: she is an avid collector of terribly awesome puns. \n*Because this course results in a certification\, attendees must fully participate in the entire program.* \nSpace is limited to 15 participants\, so register early!  \nWhen: Tuesday\, February 28\, 2023\, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm (self-paced online pre-work must be completed by Thursday\, February 23 for participants to qualify to join the live virtual portion of the course). \nWhere: Via Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the start of the course. Please note: participants must be able to participate with cameras and mics (as needed) turned on in order to receive a completion certificate. \n  \nCost: $65 for ACA\, New England members/ $90 for non-members.  \nRegister: Click here. You will register through ACA\, New England\, but additional communication about the course and how to complete the pre-work will come from the course instructor/ the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. \nRegistrations are non-refundable\, but may be transferred to another eligible individual prior to the start of the event (provided there is enough time for that individual to complete the mandatory pre-work).  \nA minimum of 6 participants is required for the program to run. \nQuestions? Reach out to Kerry Salvo\, Director of Education and Professional Development at kerry@acanewengland.org or 781-541-6080 ext. 104. If the course is full or you are interested\, but not available on this date\, please contact Kerry. If there is interest\, we may offer additional courses.
