Keynote: Camp and the Hero’s Journey - Leading Your Staff & Campers Into the Extraordinary Way Life Should Be
Today’s conventional, ordinary world too easily infiltrates camp.
The tangible enemy infiltrators, like cell phones, are easier to assassinate than the intangible ones, like an attitude of entitlement from Millennials and their parents or a lack of work ethic from staff. Discuss a provocative and potent way to inspire and lead your staff and campers to leave the ordinary, conventional society at the gate and instead, to fully and completely embrace the way of life that makes your camp culture so special. As a one-time, unorthodox orientation session, the approach is compelling. Make it a way of life at camp and it will be transformative.
Keynote: Emerging Issues and Strategies to Support Youth & Families
The challenges of building a thriving camp program are not going to get easier. Beyond the obvious challenges like the unstable economy and managing Gen-X parents’ expectations are the less obvious, slowly emerging issues that impact culture, kids and our camps. Explore emerging issues from the perspective of someone who mentors teens and young adults and gets an uninhibited, often intimate glimpse into the life of a modern young person and the challenges that concern their parents. What you’ll gain from this session will give you useful ideas and strategies to plan for hiring, orientation, 2011 programming as well as how to build alliances with modern parents and help them to grow better prepared children.
Educational Breakout Sessions:
- Slaying the Monster of Insecurity in Girls
- Enhancing Your Camp's Role in Maturing Boys into Men
- Challenges & Best Practices for Special Population Camps
- Behavior Disorders at Camp
- And many more!
