Craving a nostalgic trip down memory lane? Join us as we reconnect with our childhood memories and journey through the magical world of summer camps with Dan Schmitz of KE Camps. Swapping stories from our time at sleepaway camps in the Poconos, Pennsylvania, we journey through a realm where children learn, grow, and step outside their comfort zones.

The ever-evolving culture of camps is a fascinating journey, and who better to guide us through it than Dan Schmitz. After expanding KE Camps from 14 to a whopping 250 in just 14 years, Dan gives us an insider look into the camp industry. From exploring unique camp activities to managing staffing and training challenges, we dig deep into the transformative impact of camps. We also discuss the financial and logistical aspects of organizing a summer camp and what KE Camps offers to clubs beyond just camp management.

Our chat extends to the trend of country clubs evolving into family-focused social spaces - more than just golf courses. We also discuss how camps help kids foster friendships, develop social skills, and explore different interests and age groups. On the club side, we examine the benefits of offering camps and the considerations involved, including pricing, indoor space, and staff training. So, sit back, relax and let's take a stroll through the world of summer camps, their significance, and how KE Camps can transform your club into a haven of summer fun.
