From “I Can’t Even” to “I’ve Got This”: Coaching Staff Through Camper Burnout

Care fatigue, empathy erosion, compassion crash – whatever you call it, we’ve all seen that “I’m done with this camper” look. Even the most dedicated staff hit a point where patience fades, frustration rises, and they feel emotionally tapped out. Join Emily to delve into why staff hit this wall – physiologically, emotionally, and relationally – and how leaders can help them regain balance. We’ll explore ways to acknowledge and normalize these moments (without shame!) and discuss practical tools to help staff successfully reset and re-engage. You’ll walk away with clear strategies for keeping staff grounded and effective when their patience runs out…but the camper is still very much there.
