How can we help our camp staff recognize and prioritize their precious time? Scott talks today about ways to maximize your own time in the summer and ways to teach your staff to do the same.
There are some great ideas for staff training sessions and for modelling the correct behaviours. Scott also give directors ways to measure and feel comfortable with the progress that staff makes during training time.

It's hard to find the balance between FOMO (fear of missing out) and taking good care of your self at summer camp. It's hard as a director and it's even harder as a counsellor.
On this week's show, Scott talks through some of the problems of pushing ourselves too hard and how to make sure we are getting the rest and breaks we need.
His other focus is the summer staff. Scott lays out some criteria for observing your staff and noticing when they need to be told "It's time to catch up on your sleep. Go to bed."
Take care of yourself.

Whether it is staff, camper parents or even volunteers every camp leader needs to be prepared for dealing with people who are not nice or even just socially awkward.
With his "Punch the Shark" story Scott helps us look at difficult situations and figure out how to deal with them head-on. This includes some things to notice about ourselves but also some specific strategies for facing our biggest social challenges as summer camp directors.

Parent's just don't say to their kids "go outside and play" anymore. What have we done to our children by taking away their opportunity to entertain themselves?
In this video, Scott walks us through how to give kids the space to explore, play and grow at summer camp.
