Day camp directors, are you ready for your summer programs? Camp is approaching soon, and preparing now is vital for success.
Join us for this program where you can learn and share with camp leaders who face similar challenges. We’ll address questions and topics such as:
Campers trek through Dodge Nature Center in West St. Paul, Minn.
- How are camps recruiting and hiring qualified candidates?
- How are camper and staff needs changing?
- What are the best resources for camp this year?
- Safety policies and training materials
- How to prepare for high demand
For this program we’ll use an “Open Space” format where any participant can suggest a discussion topic ahead of time; this allows you to bring any question where you'd like insights from professional peers. Depending on the number of discussion topics, we may use breakout rooms for different topics. Learn more about Open Space here.
Suggested topics can include any aspect of managing day camps. Examples of topics include (but are not limited to):
Curriculum development
Equity and inclusion
Evaluations
Registration software and processes
Risk Management
Scholarships
Staff recruitment and training
Wages and stipends
This meeting is open to any day camp director, manager, or leader of a summer camp.
Registration: $15 ANCA Members, $30 non-members
We're also offering a separate ANCA CONNECTS program for overnight camp directors on March 21.
