Do you wish your camp had the benefits of an engaged alumni community?

It’s a gift to have a group of people that intimately “get” what your camp is all about.

And, alumni can be like getting a gym membership or Ikea furniture as a gift. Ultimately useful, but a crap-ton of work to get there.

Once you’ve got it going, alumni can be an excellent and cost-effective source of staff support, mentorship, maintenance, marketing, board guidance, fundraising and more!

So how do you get to the useful point.

The CampHacker team is here, and specifically, you need to listen to what Gabz has to say in this episode. Camp Ouareau has put in the work to not just open its doors wide to alumni, but to specifically direct them to a place that is available to them either as a supporter of camp, or someone who just wants to enjoy the nostalgia.

(Chris, Joe and Travis all have incredible points, too, of course!)
