Summer 2020 Debrief pt. 1 - Camps That Ran - Day Camp Pod #37

What was it like for Day Camps who ran this summer? Find out on our first episode of season 3 of the Day Camp Pod!

Summer 2020 was a whirlwind for us all, especially for those of us who were able to OPEN our doors to the public. We had to use every ounce of leadership, creativity, perseverance and resilience that we could muster.

While we support our comrades who did not open this past summer, and we will have a podcast just for you - this episode is about how three completely different camp programs were able to find a way to make it happen successfully, in this crazy, historic summer of 2020.

Tune in to this episode to hear about:

  • Welcoming our new host, Tiffany McDuffie!

  • How Andy, Sam and Tiff turned on the jets when it came to communication with their families and staff teams.

  • Some of the various precautions they took to make the summer happen safely

  • How did they manage the fear, uncertainty and duty to remain socially responsible that was present this summer?

  • What were some of the silver linings of running camp this summer?

  • Much, much more!
