CampHacker Podcast - CampHacker

As a camp director one of the big career challenges in our job is changing the culture of our camps. Paul, Joe and Travis have some great ideas from their many years of camp. Each has their own stories of making change as big as the whole camp culture.

It may be early in the camping season, but Camp Hackers Dan, Joe, Gab and Travis put their heads together to show you why camper retention is important to start thinking about now.

Last fall I received a great email from a listener. Ange wanted to ask us about ways to organize summer camp programs and activities. We have pulled together 5 CampHackers to help look at how we can plan great progams at camp!

A Counsellor-in-Training (CIT) or Leader-in-Training (LIT) program is a great way for camps to gain confidence in their first year counsellors. This week in the podcast, Travis, Dan and Gab bring together their thoughts on how to make the most of these incredible programs.

We gathered many of our past co-hosts to tackle a list of questions that had come to us via Twitter and the Summer Camp Professionals Group of Facebook.

In this Podcast, Jessica Smith from CampEasy.com joins us to talk about ways that camps can be as effective as possible at reaching out to mothers of camp-aged children.

This week, we talk about implementing a Lead productivity system at your summer camp. We were lucky to have Jack Schott with us for this discussion. Enjoy!

In this week’s show David, Gab and Joe share some brilliant ideas of how they inspire their campers to be great global citizens.

As our world changes so we fight change. Joe and I had an introductory discussion about a topic that has been on my mind for the past 10 months. I am starting to believe that Camp is Dead. I think that we need to be WAAAY more radical if we are to keep this amazing service around for more than the next couple of years. But where are the radicals and dreamers?

On this week's CampHacker podcast we bring together a panel of camp leaders at camps committed to being green and SUPER-green.
