The Kids Aren’t Listening to Me! - with Emily Golinsky - The Day Camp Pod #120
It’s the second week of camp, and you can anticipate a good percentage of your frontline staff going to their supervisors and declaring, “the kids aren’t listening to me!” What do you do? What do you say? Going backwards- What should you have done during training that would have helped give them better tools? For this universal topic, we bring in Emily Golinsky, our resident camper behavior expert, who has a bunch of webinars this Spring that I highly recommend to for your leadership team
Lessons from the Big Camps: Arrival and Dismissal - with Jordanna Grossinger and Phil Rainone - The Day Camp Pod #119
How we start our days at camp sets the machine in motion, in regard to intentionality and building community. How we end is what they remember each day, and is just as important! Today, we’ve got Jordanna from Camp Robin Hood, Ontario, and Phil from the mighty Ramaquois of Rockland County NY - and we’re going to deep dive into what each of our camps do, and why- This is a thick, dense podcast, so get ready to absorb- because BIG camps that can pull this off with precision are amazing to hear about!
