SUMMARY:Supporting Younger Kids at Sleepaway Camp: Scaffolds for Success
DESCRIPTION:Younger campers are excited\, but often overwhelmed. They’re still developing the Executive Functioning skills needed for independence: transitioning\, organizing\, and regulating emotions. Without the right support\, small struggles can spiral into homesickness or behavior issues. This session shows how to build EF-informed routines that help younger campers thrive-boosting retention\, staff satisfaction\, and family trust.

SUMMARY:Balance Beam Management: A New Approach to Keeping Team and Campers Happy
DESCRIPTION:The ability to manage our team and their ability to do their jobs well is central to creating incredible camp experiences for campers and families. Balance Beam Management is a new approach to team leadership that builds trust\, fosters open conversation\, and helps staff regulate emotions in real time rather than reacting to stress. The same techniques can also be used to support campers more effectively. \nThis approach centers joy and care\, helping leaders and staff develop meaningful relationships and healthy communication. By promoting emotional regulation\, co-regulation\, and play-based techniques\, we create environments where everyone feels seen\, safe\, and supported.

SUMMARY:It's Not Laziness\, It's Development: Understanding the Needs of Young Staff
DESCRIPTION:Camp staff are still developing the executive functioning skills that help adults stay organized\, flexible\, and emotionally regulated. What may look like laziness\, defiance\, or carelessness is often a skill gap\, not a character flaw. In this session\, Rachel Hoffman reframes common staff challenges through a developmental lens and helps camp leadership move from frustration to understanding. Participants will learn how to coach instead of criticize-unlocking potential\, building accountability\, and strengthening camp culture.

SUMMARY:From Hire to Higher Retention: Building a Staff Experience that Works
DESCRIPTION:Returning staff are the heart of a thriving camp. They know your culture\, connect with campers and families\, and grow into leadership roles year after year.

Drawing on Mid Island Day Camp’s own staff retention journey\, this session explores practical strategies and actionable steps to enhance staff engagement and satisfaction. We will take a deep dive into what’s working\, what’s holding you back\, and the practices you might already be using that are more important than you realize. With a few small tweaks\, you can make your camp the hot place to work this summer and for years to come.
