What would we do if we were starting at a completely new to us summer camp?
We’re so grateful to have one of our founding CampHacker hosts Dan Weir join us this episode. Welcome back, Dan!
To support the vast number of new camp directors in the last few years, Dan, Chris, Joe and Travis engage in a thought exercise to put take all the knowledge they have now and plopped themselves in a new camp.
This isn’t just an episode for newbies! Having this “newbie” mindset will consistently keep you nimble to the changing landscape of the industry and open to change.
Also, want some help getting there? You should consider a consultant.
Dan, Chris and Travis are great assets for your camp. Check out the host links below.
