SUMMARY:From Florida Man to The Bear - Lessons Learned in the Kitchen

Discover what makes a camp dining experience truly memorable\, explore your own non-negotiables\, and leave inspired with a few new ideas and maybe a craving for Taco Tuesday.

SUMMARY:The Business of Camp: Reading Your Financial Story
DESCRIPTION:We don’t have to love the business side of camp to know it matters. This session helps you decode what your financial reports are really saying\, and why understanding them empowers you to lead more strategically. You’ll learn how to read the three core financial statements (income statement\, balance sheet\, and cash flow report) in plain language\, spot red flags or opportunities\, and use that knowledge to strengthen your camp’s financial sustainability and mission delivery. Perfect for camp leaders who want confidence\, not confusion\, when looking at the numbers.

SUMMARY:Ditching Walkie-Talkies for Discord
DESCRIPTION:Crackling static\, dead batteries\, and endless “can you hear me?” moments sound familiar? In 2024\, Camp Jamison\, led by Executive Director Jacqueline McDonough\, ditched walkie-talkies and switched to Discord. Now\, after two summers of testing it\, Jacqueline shares how the change cut costs\, boosted staff buy-in\, and improved communication from whole-camp coordination to one-on-one check-ins. This session covers the benefits and (of course) the challenges\, including those 2 a.m. emotional staff messages\, so participants can decide if Discord is right for their camp. Attendees will leave with practical guidance for setup\, staff onboarding\, and communication norms that make modern tech work for even the most untechy of camp cultures.
