SUMMARY:The Parent Perspective: Understanding Families' Summer Choices in 2026
DESCRIPTION:Every summer\, parents face a growing menu of choices for their kids\, including travel sports and specialty programs to traditional day and overnight camps. In this data-driven\, story-filled session\, Dan unpacks what families are signing up for\, what influences those choices\, and what this means for camps looking to stay relevant. We’ll explore the role of cost\, convenience\, safety\, reputation\, and location in a parent’s decision-making process. We’ll uncover opportunities for camps to better connect with today’s families.

SUMMARY:Understanding LARP: the What\, How\, and Why (or Why Not)
DESCRIPTION:Live Action Role Playing (LARP) has become more mainstream over the past few years; but what exactly is it? Most people think of it as a bunch of people in full costume running around and hitting each other with swords (which it totally can be\, and that is very fun). But at its core\, LARP is a story-telling medium. Come learn about LARP and how it can be integrated into your camp programming; either as an enhancement to what already exists\, or as a completely new activity. Let The Wayfinder Experience bring you along on the journey from no budget and no space to elaborate costumes and rituals\, with all the steps in between. Figure out how LARP can fit into your camp programming in the capacity that works best for you. Come listen\, learn\, and go back ready to play! \nFollowing this session will be an additional session running a mini LARP for all levels to gain the full LARP experience.

SUMMARY:How Thoughtful AI Use Strengthens Camp's Core Mission
DESCRIPTION:AI is changing how families find\, evaluate\, and choose camps\, and the pace isn’t slowing down. This session gives you practical\, experience-backed guidance on building AI policies\, adopting tools safely\, and making the operational changes worth your time right now.\nWe’ll also break down the bigger shifts ahead: why traditional SEO is losing ground\, what GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) means for your camp’s visibility\, and how generative technology will shape family expectations before they ever reach your website.

SUMMARY:Running an Exemplary Camp Inclusion Program
DESCRIPTION:20% of our campers receive support for additional needs from their school districts. What does your camp do to support and assimilate these children into your program successfully? As a start-up camp\, Liberty Lake embraced children of all abilities—but when the number of children needing support became significant\, they sought out best practices from other programs to create their “Success Program” with accompanying protocols for children with needs in a neurotypical camp environment. Terri and Andy will take you through their process from the camp application to the camp season\, explaining how a high level of intentionality and acceptance adds to the culture and reputation of Liberty Lake.
