This is definitely a “glass-half-full” type of situation…

For better or for worse, it’s more than likely that we’ve all had to “start from scratch” at some point in the last 3 years.

However, starting from scratch with your staff team? Now that is one spicy meatball.

Our staff are the core of what we do. The experience they deliver is the one that kids remember, and parents decide to re-register their kids for.

When you’re starting from scratch with staff, we almost have to set aside the program. It’s not the traditions, the zip line and the costumes that give kids a memorable experience, it’s that the staff can create a safe space for campers to build confidence and create connections.

It’s an incredible opportunity to go back to the core of our mission and what makes a great camp staff in the context of our mission.

And who better to join Chris, Joe, Travis and Gabz on the show than the one and only Michael Brandwein!
