SUMMARY:Team Harmony in the Age of Social Muscle Atrophy: Helping Counselors Connect Beyond the Screens
DESCRIPTION:Every year dozens of Counselors from different backgrounds and experiences land in one place with just days to figure out how to work and thrive together. But today’s screen-heavy culture has led to a gradual weakening of the everyday social skills that make teamwork natural. Our increasingly divided culture has only added to the challenge. In this workshop\, Team Culture Specialist Peace Ike offers practical tools to rebuild those social muscles so Counselors can communicate confidently\, work through differences\, and create unity campers can feel.

SUMMARY:A Strengths-Based Approach to Working with Tough Boys
DESCRIPTION:The 13- and 14-year-old hotshots who are causing headaches for your instructors; the second-year counsellors who are disrupting your staff culture. These aren’t just problems to be fixed-they’re leadership opportunities waiting to be channeled. \nThis session equips camp leaders with practical strategies to work with the boys and young men who naturally emerge as influential figures within their camp culture. We will begin by exploring how precarious masculinity the constant pressure boys feel to prove their manhood drives attention-seeking\, risk-taking\, defiance\, and disconnection in camp settings. From there\, participants will learn proven strategies for aligning with\, challenging\, and empowering boys that can be implemented at the camp leadership level as well as taught to camp staff. Transform your most challenging campers into your greatest assets for building a camp culture where everyone\, not just the loudest voices\, can thrive.

SUMMARY:Creating LGBTQ+ Gender Inclusive Out-of-School Programs
DESCRIPTION:Out-of-school programs can lead the way on inclusion by creating spaces where all youth feel seen\, safe\, and supported. This session offers practical tools to build affirming programs for LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse young people. Participants will gain confidence discussing LGBTQ+ topics\, practice responding to bias\, and learn how to interrupt gender stereotypes in everyday interactions. Through activities\, scenarios\, and real examples from programs nationwide\, facilitators will model ways to create affirming environments for youth\, families\, and staff. Walk away with strategies\, sample language\, and resources to strengthen belonging across your organization.

SUMMARY:Maintaining a Financially Healthy Camp While Ensuring Your Mission and Goals are Met
DESCRIPTION:Most of us get into camp directing because of our love of camp\, not because we are businesspeople or accountants. With expenses on the rise\, it can be difficult to maintain a clear road to continued financial health. In this session\, we’ll dive into how to look at your camp goals\, your books\, and your general operations to guide decision-making about what and how to add\, edit\, and/or subtract to keep your camp at its best. This session will cover both private and non-profit camps of all types. Some examples of what we’ll be looking at include how to calculate your true cost-per-camper\, determining if your camper tuition is up to date\, how many extra staff you can support\, and how to incorporate planning for unforeseen maintenance issues and future facilities improvements.

SUMMARY:There is No Off-Season: Engaging Families in Your Camp Community Year-Round
DESCRIPTION:When camps focus on building a strong community in the “off-season\,” families will feel more tied to your camp year-round\, and are more likely to continue to send their children to your camp year after year\, improving your camper retention. Campers whose family members feel connected to the camp community are also more likely to return as staff members\, helping to improve staff retention as well. This session will offer camp leadership teams new ideas\, tips\, and practices for engaging their camp families in the camp community year-round\, helping to build a strong\, proud\, and committed community and improve camper and staff retention rates.
