Counseling in a Resort School District

Steamboat Springs School District RE-2 serves a community split between families who have lived in the Yampa Valley for generations and those drawn by the resort economy — creating a student body where the rancher's kid and the hedge fund manager's kid share a classroom. School counselors navigate this economic divide daily, managing the social comparison anxiety of lower-income students alongside the achievement pressure of affluent families. Beast Putty serves as an equalizer in the counseling office: a tool that's equally compelling to any student regardless of family background, creating neutral common ground in sessions where economic identity is often the unspoken stressor.

Seasonal Disruption and Athletic Pressure

Steamboat's student-athletes face unique pressures: the Winter Sports Club pipeline creates a culture where ski racing is a viable career path, and students as young as twelve navigate the stress of competitive selection, training schedules, and injury fear alongside normal academic demands. School counselors use Beast Putty in sessions with athletes managing performance anxiety before qualifying events, processing the emotional impact of season-ending injuries, and coping with the identity disruption when they don't make the team. The putty's physical engagement matches the kinesthetic orientation of these athletic students.

Outdoor Education and Regulation Skills

RE-2 schools embrace Colorado's outdoor education culture — Strawberry Park Elementary and Soda Creek Elementary integrate outdoor learning throughout the curriculum, and counselors extend this philosophy with sensory tools that complement active, experiential learning. Beast Putty travels from the counseling office to the outdoor classroom, providing a portable self-regulation strategy for students who need sensory support during field experiences. For the counselor equipping students with coping skills for an overnight outdoor education trip, Beast Putty is a tool that fits in a jacket pocket and works in any setting.
