Humble Brags and Future Endeavors - First Class Counselors #29

Let’s purposefully reflect on 2020 and prepare for the year ahead.

We’re posting this as 2020 comes to a close.

If you’re viewing this from the future, congrats, you’re still here!

2020 was a weird year, but COVID certainly didn’t stop the learning, growing and changing that would happen any other year.

So for this episode, the last of the year, Oliver and Matt reflect on the 2020 year, look forward to 2021 and talk a little about goal-setting through the eyes of a camp counselor.

Tune in to hear about:

  • Oliver and Matt’s personal and professional wins of the year

  • Their resolutions going forward

  • Some big, ambitious goals for camp staff in 2021

  • What goes into creating a successful resolution.

What is First Class Counselors?

Camp Directors, this Podcast isn’t for you. It’s time to delegate! First Class Counsellors is for your counselling staff, the ones who are on the ground, playing with kids and changing lives.

Each week, we’ll cover practical and accessible tips that will level up your camp counsellor skills. These are things every counsellor should know, but that you may not have time to teach in staff training.

Our two hosts, Oliver Gregan, Summer and Families Camp Director at YMCA Camp Jewell and Matt Honsberger from Go Camp Pro are excited to be able to provide this resource to camp counsellors and up and coming staff, who they believe, have the most important job at camp.


This is free professional development for your counsellors! We would love your feedback. Please leave your comments below, or, send Matt an email! Thank you!
