When you take away all of your camp’s window-dressing, what’s left? Andy and Liz Kimmelman dig into it on this Mini-Pod.

Every camp we’ve spoken to that opened during Summer 2020 quickly realized that all the bells and whistles they’ve accumulated over the years were insignificant, as their downscaled, back-to-basics programming was embraced and enjoyed by the campers and staff in ways like we’ve never seen before. For camp directors like Liz and Andy Kimmelman, and myself to a degree, this was a welcome awakening for the future of our camps. THIS, is the Day Camp Pod!

Tune in to hear about:

• Nicknames...

• Summer 2020 reckoning

  • Why do you think this happened?

    • Opportunities for Autonomy, mastery and connection!

  • Do you think that people (including parents) will remain content to keep it simple?

• Changes we made that we will keep

• Website revisions

• Advice to our day camp colleagues

  • Unplug, outdoor, explore, play more
