Another year in the books with more to come. With Covid, kids, parents, and staff, there’s plenty to learn from a full camp season.

We made it! Another camp season during COVID. Yet for some of us, it felt very different. Were we back to pre-pandemic camp? Was it more challenging than the previous two summers? And what about the staff? Are we looking pessimistically or optimistically at what the next 3-5 years have in store for us camp operators?

Kelly and I are happy to have returning guest Adam Baranker from Jeff Lake Day Camp in New Jersey and new guest to The Camp Owners Podcast Adam Kronick the Owner/Director of Camp Whitepine in Haliburton Ontario Canada.

Listen in as we discuss:

• So how did it go?

  • Covid - a thing/not a thing? 

  • How were the kids?

  • How were their parents? 

• Let’s talk staff?

• How’s 2023 looking?

• What’s on your mind for 3-5 years down the road?

Thanks for listening!
