What to Do When it ALL Happens At Once - CampHacker #143
You know…when the chocolate pudding really hits the fan.
We don’t wish it on you. But at some point in your camp career it’s going to happen.
Something will go wrong and you’ll say to yourself “crap, that’s not good”.
Then you’ll get an urgent walkie call and you’ll say, “seriously?”
Then, the power will go out, and you’ll be standing there in the dark saying to yourself, “well. damn. I’m really in it now”.
You can prepare as much as you want, but there’s no way to prevent the dreaded domino of disaster. However, by hearing about how other camp pros made it through these hard times, you can at least rest assured that you can do it. You can get through the tidal wave of trouble relatively unscathed.
Join Chris, Gabz, Travis and Joe as they share their perfect storms and the swim strokes that got them to the other side.
