Episode 78: Creating a Happier World with Speed

March 31, 2025

This week on the Gold Arrow Camp Podcast, Sunshine chats with Armando “Speed” 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.


“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.”

Armando “Speed” Negrete
