Have some feedback? A topic suggestion? Text us!Giving camp parents an experience that they will remember and recommend to their friends is one of the most important aspects of our job. There are many opportunities to give them a “WOW”. I know I say each of the podcasts was awesome… because it’s true! This one is no different. Listen in to hear Marc Cooper (Camp Tamarack director) blow our minds with some projects from Fiverr!

In this show (welcome back frequent co-host Paul Sheridan!) we take apart the job of getting people ready to move up.
