See this content in the original post

No matter how much time you have left, you still have time. to make your virtual training the best it can be!

As we enter into our final weeks of planning we wanted to be as relevant and helpful as possible for fellow camp owners and directors.  Staff training is one of the most important aspects of the success of camp and this summer many of us are offering virtual components. 

Our executive producer and co-host of the First Class Counsellors podcast Matt Honsberger is here to help us make the most out of our virtual training and relieve some of the stress that we may be feeling as we deliver new and innovative ways to prepare our staff and maintain positive connections, even when we’re online.

Tune-in to this episode to hear about

  • How do we make the most of the time we spend with staff virtually?

  • What are the big “to-dos” and “to not dos” in the virtual training world?

  • How do we double-check for knowledge when they arrive in person? Do we need to?

  • How do you foster the social connections and support systems when we’re in the virtual world?

What is the Camp Owners Podcast?

Whether you are a Camp Owner, an aspiring camp owner, or a lover of some of our other Go Camp Pro podcasts, we’re so happy to have you here.

The Camp Owners Podcast is here to explore a side of the summer camp world that is experienced by those that have the privilege of running an independent program.

In this world of camp, the stakes are high. Not only do private camps have the same goals, aspirations and responsibilities that other camps have, but there is also usually a ton of personal livelihood on the line. When you OWN a camp, you really do own the successes and failures that any for-profit enterprise faces.

On this podcast, our hosts, Howie Grossinger and Kelly Schuna will be joined by some seasoned prime camp professionals to dive deep into the issues that most private camp pros will need to face, and the best practices that they use to create, and sustain a summer camp for their campers to enjoy summer after summer.

In season one, tune in to the podcast monthly to hear about topics like Camp As a Business, Camp Insurance, Buying and Selling Camps, Work/Life Balance, Pricing, Staff Training & Engagement

Thanks for tuning in! If you have any feedback, please get in touch with our producer, Matt at matt@gocamp.pro.
