Episode 78: Creating a Happier World with Speed

This week on the Gold Arrow Camp Podcast, Sunshine chats with Armando &ldquo;Speed&rdquo; Negrete about the lasting positive impact of his experience as a GAC staff member in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The communication and leadership skills he learned at GAC are professional skills Armando uses today as a Lead Public Safety Dispatcher (9-1-1), a track and cross country running coach, and a sports photographer. Armando also shares about how the skills he learned and practiced as a Group Counselor are ones he still uses and benefits from as a parent. &ldquo;I remember how incredibly in awe I was of the camp ground, of all the different activities that Gold Arrow Camp offers. I was just completely awestruck.&rdquo; Armando &ldquo;Speed&rdquo; Negrete Article about Armando&rsquo;s return to Fresno State to get his Bachelor&rsquo;s Degree Podcast Credits Music by Henry &ldquo;Dobro&rdquo; Johns Narration (intro &amp; outro) by Henry &ldquo;Bravo&rdquo; Pederson Produced by JRS Production Creative Audio <path fill="#ffffff" fill-rule="evenodd" class="icon" d="M8 14H3.667C2.733 13.9 2 13.167 2 12.233V3.667A1.65 1.65 0 0 1 3.667 2h8.666A1.65 1.65 0 0 1 14 3.667v8.566c0 .934-.733 1.667-1.667 1.767H10v-3.967h1.3l.7-2.066h-2V6.933c0-.466.167-.9.867-.9H12v-1.8c.033 0-.933-.266-1.533-.266-1.267 0-2.434.7-2.467 2.133v1.867H6v2.066h2V14z"> Share <path d="M4.9 0H0L5.782 7.7098L0.315 14H2.17L6.6416 8.8557L10.5 14H15.4L9.3744 5.9654L14.56 0H12.705L8.5148 4.8202L4.9 0ZM11.2 12.6L2.8 1.4H4.2L12.6 12.6H11.2Z" fill="#fff"/>Post <path d="M29.449,14.662 C29.449,22.722 22.868,29.256 14.75,29.256 C6.632,29.256 0.051,22.722 0.051,14.662 C0.051,6.601 6.632,0.067 14.75, 0.067 C22.868,0.067 29.449,6.601 29.449,14.662" fill="#fff" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="1"><path d="M14.733,1.686 C7.516,1.686 1.665,7.495 1.665,14.662 C1.665,20.159 5.109,24.854 9.97,26.744 C9.856,25.718 9.753,24.143 10.016, 23.022 C10.253,22.01 11.548,16.572 11.548,16.572 C11.548,16.572 11.157,15.795 11.157,14.646 C11.157,12.842 12.211,11.495 13.522,11.495 C14.637, 11.495 15.175,12.326 15.175,13.323 C15.175,14.436 14.462,16.1 14.093,17.643 C13.785,18.935 14.745,19.988 16.028,19.988 C18.351,19.988 20.136, 17.556 20.136,14.046 C20.136,10.939 17.888,8.767 14.678,8.767 C10.959,8.767 8.777,11.536 8.777,14.398 C8.777,15.513 9.21,16.709 9.749,17.359 C9.856, 17.488 9.872,17.6 9.84,17.731 C9.741,18.141 9.52,19.023 9.477,19.203 C9.42,19.44 9.288,19.491 9.04,19.376 C7.408,18.622 6.387,16.252 6.387,14.349 C6.387, 10.256 9.383,6.497 15.022,6.497 C19.555,6.497 23.078,9.705 23.078,13.991 C23.078,18.463 20.239,22.062 16.297,22.062 C14.973,22.062 13.728,21.379 13.302, 20.572 C13.302,20.572 12.647,23.05 12.488,23.657 C12.193,24.784 11.396,26.196 10.863,27.058 C12.086,27.434 13.386,27.637 14.733,27.637 C21.95,27.637 27.801, 21.828 27.801,14.662 C27.801,7.495 21.95,1.686 14.733,1.686" fill="#bd081c"> Pinterest <path d="M-296.2,401.6c0-3.2,0-6.3,0-9.5h0.1c1,0,2,0,2.9,0c0.1,0,0.1,0,0.1,0.1c0,0.4,0,0.8,0,1.2 c0.1-0.1,0.2-0.3,0.3-0.4c0.5-0.7, 1.2-1,2.1-1.1c0.8-0.1,1.5,0,2.2,0.3c0.7,0.4,1.2,0.8,1.5,1.4c0.4,0.8,0.6,1.7,0.6,2.5 c0,1.8,0,3.6,0,5.4v0.1c-1.1,0-2.1,0-3.2,0c0-0.1, 0-0.1,0-0.2c0-1.6,0-3.2,0-4.8c0-0.4,0-0.8-0.2-1.2c-0.2-0.7-0.8-1-1.6-1 c-0.8,0.1-1.3,0.5-1.6,1.2c-0.1,0.2-0.1,0.5-0.1,0.8c0,1.7,0,3.4, 0,5.1c0,0.2,0,0.2-0.2,0.2c-1,0-1.9,0-2.9,0 C-296.1,401.6-296.2,401.6-296.2,401.6z"/><path d="M-298,401.6L-298,401.6c-1.1,0-2.1,0-3,0c-0.1,0-0.1,0-0.1-0.1c0-3.1,0-6.1,0-9.2 c0-0.1,0-0.1,0.1-0.1c1,0,2,0,2.9, 0h0.1C-298,395.3-298,398.5-298,401.6z"/><path d="M-299.6,390.9c-0.7-0.1-1.2-0.3-1.6-0.8c-0.5-0.8-0.2-2.1,1-2.4c0.6-0.2,1.2-0.1,1.8,0.2 c0.5,0.4,0.7,0.9,0.6,1.5c-0.1,0.7-0.5,1.1-1.1, 1.3C-299.1,390.8-299.4,390.8-299.6,390.9L-299.6,390.9z"/>Share <path d="M-1214.1,1565.2v1l8,4l8-4v-1c0-0.7-0.6-1.3-1.3-1.3h-13.4C-1213.5,1563.9-1214.1,1564.4-1214.1, 1565.2z M-1214.1,1567.4v7.1c0,0.7,0.6,1.3,1.3,1.3h13.4c0.7,0,1.3-0.6,1.3-1.3v-7.1l-8,4L-1214.1,1567.4z"/> Email The post Episode 78: Creating a Happier World with Speed appeared first on Gold Arrow Camp - California Summer Camp and Traditional Sleepaway Camps for Children.
