Stress has become such a big part of all of our daily lives. From troubling things going on in our world to the personal stress that staff may be feeling from the hard work at summer camp. We all need to have tools and resources to cope. Join us today as we discuss what we can offer staff to help them deal with what we face at camp and what life will throw their way.

Best Practice for Leadership Training

From Beth

Let’s frontload this by saying that Beth is in no way diminishing people’s triggers. There are ones that are certainly important and we need to be aware of them. People have gone through so many different types of stress, PTSD, etc… 

When we are stressed, we are often on the lookout for our triggers, big and small. There are words or signs or triggers that can cause us to be more negative, anxious or fearful. Why not teach your staff to pay attention to their glimmers, the opposite of triggers. The little moment of peace or joy that allow our nervous system to be safe and connected. When you look for them, you will find them everywhere. At the end of your training day, ask your campers to share their glimmers to allow you to focus on the bright moments throughout the day.
