What is one thing you learned working at camp that surprises people when you talk about?
The fact that people don’t understand what we do full-time is not just and “us” problem - it’s a problem for our entire industry.
It’s annoying as all heck - yes.
And.
It could be the reason why you’re under-enrolled and understaffed.
One of the biggest issues facing our industry is our reputation. We are consistently fighting against Hollywood stereotypes and the notion that camp is a luxury item for privileged kids or glorified child-care.
We - meaning consultants, associations, directors, staff, etc. - need to do a better job articulating what camp does for it’s leaders and the types of people that it creates.
If we don’t, how do we expect families and staff to value the experience enough to trust us with their kids or their summer employment?
Do these show notes sound like we’re up on a soap-box? Well just wait for the episode!
Tune in to get a (kind) earful from Travis and Chris!
