SUMMARY:Intentionally Designed\, Large-Scale\, Cheap Games
DESCRIPTION:This session will bring participants along on a journey that transformed the programming paradigm at YMCA Camp Cory. Budgetary constraints led to the emergence of high-quality all-camp games. And we are sharing them with you. For free! Come learn about game design and all the things that make all-camp games exquisite (Dramatis Personae\, epic music\, engaging costumes\, pacing\, prop building and storage\, coopetition\, and engagement strategies). \nWe will share design standards and other strategies we’ve used at YMCA Camp Cory to develop original\, all-camp games on a shoestring budget. We’ll introduce some game examples\, show the creation process\, and provide resources that other camps can use.

SUMMARY:How to Adapt Marketing and Sales Strategies to Attract and Enroll Children from Non-Traditional Camp Families
DESCRIPTION:In this Dining Hall\, we will lead a conversation focused on how to market and sell camp to “non-traditional” camp families. Non-traditional camp families are made up of families with parents who did NOT attend camp\, families who come from areas in the United States or abroad that do not have camp at all\, and/or families who live in neighborhoods where it may not be the norm or part of the culture to send children to camp. We will discuss aspects of the marketing plan\, inquiry follow ups and the camp tour that must be adapted if we wish to communicate effectively with families new to the camp world.

SUMMARY:Just Eat It: Navigating Picky\, Restrictive\, and Disordered Eating at Camp
DESCRIPTION:Is your camper picky? Does the food just stink? Or is it possible that something more serious is going on? Atypical eating behaviors at camp are often a concern for staff\, and there are so many reasons why a camper might not eat enough. In this session\, social workers Chrissy and Elizabeth will explore a variety of challenging eating behaviors in campers\, from pickiness and unfamiliarity to more significant disordered eating. They will examine contributing factors\, mental health implications\, and approaches for supporting campers and staff. Chrissy and Elizabeth will examine the importance of including family voice and\, when indicated\, a collaborative approach with treatment teams. They will also discuss factors to consider to ensure that staff are prepared and equipped to assess and support their campers who present with eating concerns.

SUMMARY:Camp is Intersectional: Are Your Staff Training Sessions Meeting the Moment?
DESCRIPTION:We all want to ensure that our camp team is equipped to handle anything that comes their way during the camp season. Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Accessibility training is imperative for fostering both safe and brave spaces for campers and for your team. We are experiencing a challenging world where the perpetual gloom and doom of the news brings challenges many may not\, and cannot\, understand. This workshop will dissect how we can further set ourselves up for success by looking at our trainings through the multi-layer lenses that come with intersectionality\, power\, and privilege\, particularly for our LGBTQ+ and BIPOC campers and staff members. This session will provide both a toolkit of ideas to bring back to your team\, as well as a real-life simulation on how to use the tools provided for both in-person and virtual training sessions.

SUMMARY:2\, 4\, 6\, 8\, Who DO We Appreciate?!  (And How Do We Appreciate Them?)
DESCRIPTION:Camp staff work HARD. They pour tons of effort\, energy\, and enthusiasm into camp\, and dedicate so much time to making camp the special place that it is. And for better or worse\, their compensation for doing so is… lacking. Because of this\, developing an intentional\, meaningful\, and tangible staff appreciation program is a critically important aspect of running a successful camp. During this hands-on and interactive workshop\, participants will have the opportunity to discuss and ideate with fellow camp professionals about staff appreciation best practices\, including things they can consider for Summer 2026.
