From submitting a proposal, talking with a committee member, receiving pre-conference communication, having top-notch on-site support (including the best speaker snacks ever!), and welcoming participants who are eager to learn, speaking at the Tri-State CAMP Conference is the whole package! I look forward to the Tri-State experience every year!

Kim Aycock, Kimspiration LLC

Presenting workshops at ACA, NY and NJ’s Tri State is an honor. Every year I meet more dedicated, compassionate professionals who are working to shape the world by supporting and challenging campers and staff. The team at Tri State are experienced and incredibly competent at putting on the largest camp conference in the world. The opportunity to share my expertise and learn from these amazing individuals not only fills my sense of purpose, it also grows my business and my ability to help more camps make an incredible impact.

Deborah Gilboa, MD, Ask Doctor G

I LOVE being a speaker at Tri-State. It’s amazing to be in a room where everyone genuinely wants to learn from each other. While it is wonderful to share insights and best practices from my camp, the best part is what I learn from others. Tri-State is always the highlight of my off-season.
