Begin Training With Clear Goals
- Start staff training with a clear end goal in mind for what staff should achieve by camp day three.
- Use this goal to organize basic and advanced training elements like puzzle pieces fitting together.
Leverage Returning Staff First
- Bring returning staff in first to focus on the big picture of camp expectations and model behavior for new staff.
- Use their experience to clarify and iron out camp details and foster leadership by example.
Use Micro Learning Videos
- Use micro learning by having staff create short videos teaching basic skills like life jacket use or table setting.
- These videos act as a resource for future and current staff to review key camp skills anytime.
