From Ally to Co-Conspirator: An Anti-Racism Lab for Camp Leaders

This session is for leaders ready to move from passive allyship to active co-conspiracy in the fight against racism at camp. We begin by clearly defining this crucial shift, which requires using your voice, power, and resources to challenge and change systems. This is a lab, not a lecture, focused on building your practical toolkit for intervention and advocacy. You will practice interrupting microaggressions in real-time, discuss how to advocate for anti-racist policies in hiring, budgeting, and power structures, and policy shifts that you can push out tomorrow that will show your community that you’re walking the talk. Leave this session empowered with the confidence and concrete skills to act as a genuine co-conspirator for your staff of color.
