We welcome all camp staff to this energizing and informative Summer Staff Saturday in-person training day on June 1 at Wheeler Summer’s “The Farm” in Seekonk, MA! There will be two tracks depending on your role at camp:

  • Leadership – Are you a director or executive? Do you supervise a team who works with campers? Are you someone with a walkie talkie during the summer? If so, this would be the best option for you. It will include some round table conversations, a camp tour, and higher level camp management and operations conversations.
  • Program – Do you work primarily with campers? Do you oversee a program area at camp? If so, this track is best for you. You’ll be able to choose from sessions that will apply directly to things you’ll be doing at camp this summer – think transition times, behavior management, difficult conversations, and games and activities!

Please select the track each attendee would like to join on step 4 of the registration process!

Lunch is included with your registration.

Do I choose the individual or group rate? 

  • If you know who is coming, register each person individually so we capture that info now. Or, if you have 2-4, 6-9, or more than 10 folks coming you can use the individual registration to add additional folks from your team (If the total number of attendees you’re booking is 5 or more, you can apply apply the discount code NESUM20 at checkout to save 20% on each individual’s registration fees!)
  • If you’re not sure exactly who is coming, but you plan to bring a group, select the group registration rate to reserve 5 or 10 spots and then share attendee names with us in May (the rate listed already includes the 20% discount, so you’ll pay what you see!)
