SUMMARY:Make It W.I.S.E.: Crafting That's More than Just Glitter and Glue
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, camp crafts and activities end up as “one-and-done” projects-something kids make\, leave behind\, or toss away. The W.I.S.E. (Wearable\, Interactive/Physical\, Skill\, Elevated) Method offers a fresh framework to help camp professionals design projects that kids truly love and remember. \nIn this interactive session\, participants will explore each element of the Kids in the Game W.I.S.E. Method through real examples from camp settings\, practice evaluating sample projects with the framework\, and brainstorm how to apply it back at their own programs. You’ll walk away with a practical tool and new ideas to raise the bar on camper art.

SUMMARY:Big Magic in Small Spaces: Creating Collective Effervescence at Urban Day Camps
DESCRIPTION:You don’t need a ropes course\, fireworks show\, or camp-wide color war to create unforgettable energy and community at day camp. In this session\, we’ll explore how urban day camps can foster collective effervescence—that electric feeling of shared joy and connection that makes campers feel part of something bigger—using limited space\, time\, and resources. \nParticipants will learn how to design special events and camp moments that capture that same magic typically found at sleepaway camps through intentional planning\, storytelling\, rituals\, and playful design. We’ll share strategies and examples from Kids in the Game’s NYC-based programs\, where schools\, rooftops\, and playgrounds transform into spaces of pure camp spirit.

SUMMARY:Lunch with a Lawyer: Legal Questions Answered
DESCRIPTION:As we plan for each summer\, camp professionals run into daily legal questions. Should we update our contracts with families? Should parents sign a waiver? What does the ADA require of us? What are the best practices for hiring? The list goes on and on. This session provides an open forum to discuss your legal questions with a camp attorney and camp founder. Participants will hear from colleagues to understand what legal considerations are most pressing in the industry right now\, and they will receive concrete guidance in response to their legal questions.

SUMMARY:The Guided Prompt Experience: Using AI to Create All-Camp Games
DESCRIPTION:Capture the Flag and Color War are the quintessential all-camp games at summer camp. Most likely\, your camp has a spin on it that makes your version different from all other camps. But do you have a “signature program”? \nAttendees will start with a quick overview of the components required for a successful all-camp game. Then we will go through a guided\, structured AI prompting session. You will leave this session with an interesting\, unique game and a rich understanding of different prompting techniques. *Please bring a device with you\, laptops are preferred for the best experience.
