MVSB Supports Inaugural Camp Resilience Leadership and Wellness Gala

Camp Resilience will host its inaugural Camp Resilience Leadership and Wellness Gala on Sept. 18 at the Lake Estate on Winnisquam in Tilton. The event is open to the public and will feature inspiring speakers, live music, demonstrations, and formal presentations highlighting the extraordinary contributions of our Military and First Responder leaders. MVSB (Meredith Village Savings Bank) has supported the event as the $2,000 Chief Table sponsor.

“The Gala is an important opportunity to bring people together to better understand the impact of our programs and the importance of supporting those who serve and have served,” said Jeff Ladieu, Camp Resilience Executive Director. “At Camp Resilience, we are focused on creating meaningful experiences that help individuals strengthen their mental, physical, and emotional well-being, while building connections that extend beyond the program and back into their families, workplaces, and communities. Support from events like this allows us to continue expanding that impact.”

The gala will shine a light on Camp Resilience’s Chiefs Wellness and Leadership Program, dedicated to supporting both mental and physical health for its participants. This innovative program provides a variety of opportunities, including outdoor recreation and life skills workshops, designed to promote overall well-being. Participants benefit from fireside peer conversations, as well as mindful meditation and breathing exercises. These techniques are intended to help attendees manage stress and prevent burnout. All activities are thoughtfully crafted to be adaptable to a range of physical abilities, ensuring an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone involved.

“Camp Resilience is doing important work to support first responders and others in leadership roles who face high levels of stress,” said Sue Dagostino, MVSB Branch and Business Development Manager. “We are proud to support this event and the continued growth of their programs.”

Tickets to the Gala can be purchased online at camp-resilience.org/events.
