We are excited to launch a resource page for our staff, with information about how to best serve all of our campers! Each month leading up to camp, we will add to this page with our monthly workshops as they come together.
Cultural humility is the process of self-reflection and self-critique whereby the individual not only learns about another’s culture, but one starts with an examination of her/his own beliefs and cultural identities, requiring us to be critical of our own cultural biases. Cultural humility can increase the ability to see from each other’s viewpoints, understand each other’s backgrounds, and ultimately work together, which creates a tighter-knit community.

In Rigo’s presentation on Trauma-Informed Care, we focused on how to help a triggered camper or staff. Many of you are already familiar with trauma-informed care – in fact, it’s something we actively practice at Camp! Trauma-informed care recognizes that many of us – campers and staff – have had significant traumas in our lives, realizes that sometimes our behaviors have built as a response to that trauma, and reminds us to care for one another in a way that acknowledges (and doesn’t provoke) that past trauma.
Here are the two handouts that Rigo mentioned at the end of his presentation: Supporting Survivors and Guide to Helping Children Cope After a Traumatic Event

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder – also called ADHD or ADD – is one of the most common neurodevelopment disorders of childhood. It is a chronic condition that includes difficulty paying attention, trouble regulating hyperactivity levels, and impulsiveness. Although it can be easy to write off as “bad behavior”, we now know that it really is a difference in how the brain is wired.
