Best Practice for Leadership Training
From Gabrielle
One of the most valuable decisions I’ve made in my career was volunteering with both my provincial and national camp associations. While I recognize that volunteering is a privilege not everyone can afford, it became a powerful investment in my professional development and helped me build a strong, supportive network.
I want to encourage camp professionals—especially those who are newer to the field—not to hesitate in reaching out to your state, provincial, or national associations. It’s easy to feel like your camp is “too small” or your question “too basic,” but these organizations are here for you—not just in crisis, but for learning, guidance, and everyday questions.
Whether you're worried about finances, curious about emerging health concerns, or simply feeling unsure, your association is a resource. Think of it like a staff member coming to you for help—it’s not a burden, it’s an opportunity for meaningful support and growth. Associations welcome those conversations with the same enthusiasm.
You don’t have to navigate challenges alone. Reach out. Ask questions. Build connections. You belong in this community, and your association is excited to walk alongside you.
