When you take away all of your camp’s window-dressing, what’s left? Andy and Liz Kimmelman dig into it on this Mini-Pod.

Every camp we’ve spoken to that opened during Summer 2020 quickly realized that all the bells and whistles they’ve accumulated over the years were insignificant, as their downscaled, back-to-basics programming was embraced and enjoyed by the campers and staff in ways like we’ve never seen before. For camp directors like Liz and Andy Kimmelman, and myself to a degree, this was a welcome awakening for the future of our camps. THIS, is the Day Camp Pod!

Tune in to hear about:

• Nicknames...
• Summer 2020 reckoning
  • Why do you think this happened?
    • Opportunities for Autonomy, mastery and connection!
  • Do you think that people (including parents) will remain content to keep it simple?
• Changes we made that we will keep
• Website revisions
• Advice to our day camp colleagues
  • Unplug, outdoor, explore, play more
