The Bias You Don’t See: Creating Space for Everyone at Camp

Unconscious bias can quietly shape our interactions, decisions, and the camp culture in ways we may not even realize. This interactive training will help camp professionals recognize the “hidden” biases that influence behavior, relationships, and camper experiences. Together, we will explore practical strategies to interrupt bias, foster belonging, and create intentional spaces where every camper and staff member feels valued, included, and supported. Participants will engage in reflection, discussion, and scenario-based activities that highlight how even small shifts in awareness and practice can transform camp into a place where everyone can thrive.
