Social Media Marketing Your Summer Camp

5 NEW Tips:
I (Travis) presented last month at the Ontario Camps Association conference in Toronto. It was great to speak to a packed room about my favourite topic... my love for Beth.... oh, and using social media tools to make camp marketing effective. I recorded the presentation and put the audio together with my slides in a series of 6 videos. The first 3 videos are available on our website now and the next 3 will become public in the next two weeks.
