Ideas to Help Staff Foster Creativity

Our camp staff have not had a so-called “normal summer” in three years.  Additionally, our lives, especially for our younger population, is more and more online.  With that being said, it is not surprising that our newer counselors are struggling a bit to unleash their imaginations with in-person activities.  Join us today as we discuss ideas to help them foster their creativity and bring out their inner child.

Best Practice for Leadership Training

From Gabz - Inspired by Travis Allison

Travis usually travels with cue cards in a box. Cue cards are filled with games, notes and outcomes from various games. This is a great tool that helps camp leaders keep track of the activities that worked as planned with their staff.

For your staff, you can provide your staff with cue cards and at the end of training sessions, set time aside for your staff to write things down and create their own notes.
