SUMMARY:Getting Comfortable With Your Budget: A Crash Course in Fiscal Management
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be honest – most of us didn’t get into camping because we love spreadsheets. But budgets shape everything we do: what we can build\, who we can hire\, and how we show up for our campers. \nThis crash course is for camp leaders who want to finally feel confident talking about money. We’ll walk through what a camp budget really means\, then jump into hands-on “what if” challenges. What if enrollment drops mid-season? What if we actually make more money than expected? You’ll practice adjusting\, prioritizing\, and explaining your decisions in ways that make sense to boards\, families\, and staff. \nYou’ll leave with simple tools\, real examples\, and the confidence to stop dodging the finance talk—because leading well means owning the numbers\, not fearing them.

SUMMARY:Insanity or Genius?  The Magic of Camper Choice at Day Camp
DESCRIPTION:Discover how you can elevate your day camp culture by allowing campers to self-select their daily activities and how to overcome barriers for implementation. This session will discuss how SummerCollab has implemented choice activities for campers in grades 1-8\, and the magic that happens when kids make their own choices. If you are looking to improve culture\, decrease camper behavior\, and/or enhance your staff development\, the magic of camper choice might be your missing solution.

SUMMARY:How to Do What You Said You Would Do:  Being Accountable to Yourself and Others\, with Less Stress
DESCRIPTION:Wouldn’t it be great if we were judged by our intentions instead of our actions or lack of action? Do you struggle to manage your task list\, or wish you even had a task list? Would you like to raise accountability for yourself and those you collaborate with? In this session with Diana Bloom\, we will learn actionable steps that can be implemented to achieve high productivity and efficiency and to bridge the gap between our intentions and our actions. Together\, we will discover systems and processes to prioritize\, track\, and complete tasks with less stress. We will learn techniques for better clarity in task management\, how to prevent tasks from falling through the cracks\, and how to track work to completion.

SUMMARY:Tooth Fairy Ethics: When is it OK to Lie to Kids?
DESCRIPTION:It’s ironic—against the backdrop of lofty mission statements and core values like “honesty”—that most adults have no qualms about lying to young children about the Tooth Fairy\, the toy store being closed\, and catching a cold if you don’t wear a jacket. These may be harmless falsehoods\, but what about lies your staff tell campers? This entertaining session will help you examine camp lore\, humor traditions\, and discipline practices and decide which ones to nix because they are truly unethical.
