Last spring, Camas County Schools applied to join BSU’s BroncoBOLD program, and we were selected. We are the smallest school district to have been chosen, and we are honored to be part of such an extraordinary program. With that being said, the journey has officially begun… On August 26, 2026, our student ambassadors and advisors attended their first BroncoBOLD event at Boise State University, "a program focused on lessening stigma, increasing awareness, and fostering resilience surrounding mental health."
Throughout the experience, our students gained valuable tools and knowledge that they are bringing back to Camas County. As student advocates, they are committed to sharing this important message with their peers and helping create a school community where everyone feels heard, supported, and valued.
As part of the program, students identified their “why.” After thoughtful discussion, they chose to focus on bridging the gap between athletes and non-athletes, recognizing that everyone has a voice.
CCHS’s BroncoBOLD advisors, Michelle Ruetmann and Nicole Wolf could not be more proud of these students. Nicole Wolf stated, “As their advisors, we have the privilege of watching them step up as leaders, advocates, and positive influencers within our school. We know they will make a meaningful impact on those around them.”
Mental health matters, and at Camas County, we stand behind that. We are proud of our students for choosing to be part of the conversation, breaking down stigma, and helping build a stronger, more connected school community.
