Anxiety can present in different ways in the camp environment, and as camp professionals, it's essential to respond with care and clarity. This session will start with the basics of understanding the different types of anxiety and how it might present at camp. Learn about factors that help to alleviate anxiety versus those factors that exacerbate anxiety and also learn both proactive and responsive techniques to address campers' needs. Participants will walk away with a broader understanding of anxiety, techniques and approaches on how and when to offer support, and how to model healthy coping strategies that will help keep campers engaged in everyday programs and camp life.
