My Camp | Making Strong and Capable Leaders - BOLD & GOLD with YMCA Utah
Embark on an extraordinary adventure as we delve into the captivating world of the BOLD & GOLD Program with Lee and Aaron from YMCA Utah. In this episode, uncover the transformative experience of traveling like nomads, discovering survival skills and the true essence of thriving in the wild.
The BOLD & GOLD Program is meticulously designed to foster leadership development and camping skills through an immersive 5-day, 4-night journey. Lee and Aaron offer a captivating glimpse into a typical day on the BOLD & GOLD trip, starting with the instructors preparing the participants for the wilderness experience, assuming it may be their first encounter with camping. The trip involves exhilarating hikes, kayaking, fishing, and a range of other camping activities.
Lee and Aaron emphasize that this journey provides a safe space for the youth to forge connections with nature and one another. The instructors prioritize the participants' growth, equipping them with the necessary tools and unwavering support to emerge as resilient leaders who navigate challenges with determination.
Within the BOLD & GOLD Program, intentional activities foster trust and strengthen the camp community. One such activity is the Courage Circle, where the group gathers at the end of each day for reflection. This circle creates an open and honest space for the youth to express their emotions throughout the trip.
Moreover, the campers engage in discussions about pressing global issues, encouraging vulnerability and the understanding that it's acceptable to share one's struggles with others. Additionally, each day, a leader is designated among the campers, empowering them to develop confidence in decision-making skills.
Lee and Aaron's passionate description of the BOLD & GOLD Program highlights its profound impact on youth, enabling them to emerge as strong and capable leaders.
