How to make campers & families feel like insiders - before they even get to camp!
After a few years away from a regular summer, we likely have more new families than ever.
One of the biggest “shake off the rust” things that we need to remember is how we welcome and prepare new families for their, or their camper’s first time at camp.
Joe, Travis and Gabz get together and share their best practices for helping new families feel like they already have a place at camp, before they even set foot on the property!
