SUMMARY:Learnings from the Field: MESH Supports at Camps
DESCRIPTION:We know that mental\, emotional\, and social health (MESH) continues to be a topic of discussion for many camps as they explore ways to support staff and campers. Learnings from the Field sessions are designed for YOU to hear from camps doing this work in the field. \nWe will be joined by several camps who will share some strategies they have been implementing\, including: Employee Assistance Programs\, increased staffing models (community support teams\, staff coordinators\, and overall staffing)\, journaling for campers\, and a serenity cabin. You will hear from: \n\nLisa Carter\,  Executive Director of Agassiz Village\, an overnight camp in Maine\nEmily Courtiss\, Director of Camp Vega in Maine\, an overnight camp in Maine\nAmy Podolsky\, Director of Camp Sewataro\, a day camp in Massachusetts\nLiz Turnwald & Jess Smith\, Co-Directors of EVkids\, an overnight camp in VT (the organization also runs school-year tutoring programs)\n\nWe are not experts\, but practitioners. So\, come to hear and learn from others and pose questions you might have. \nPlease plan to join us live for these sessions! If you cannot join live\, please register and email kerry@acanewengland.org to request a copy of the recording\, which will be viewable for 30 days following the event. \nRegistration fees are non-refundable\, but may be transferred to another attendee from your camp/organization by emailing kerry@acanewengland.org before the start of the program.

SUMMARY:Resource Community Series: Business of Camp
DESCRIPTION:Resource Community Series:\nBusiness of Camp (200-Level)\n **While the first session has passed\, we still welcome new registrations to begin with the group in November.** \nHave you been in a leadership role at camp for several years (think executive director\, CEO\, COO\, camp director)\, understand at least the fundamentals of “business of camp\,” and are interested in digging deeper to intentionally explore these areas with colleagues? If so\, this resource community is for you! Discussion topics will include: \n\nBudgeting and finances\,\nRisk management\,\nHuman resource management\,\nStrategic planning\, and\nMarketing and camper recruitment\n\nThrough a series of monthly facilitated discussions (October to May)\, you’ll share and get feedback from others\, troubleshoot challenges\, and explore new ideas and tactics in a safe and professional space. Nick Teich\, PhD\, LCSW\, founder and former CEO of Harbor Camps and owner of Fairwinds Consulting\, LLC\, will moderate the group. His role will be to encourage participant-led discussions\, provide resources\, and offer observations and insights\, while keeping the conversation and session flow going! \nThis series is not designed to be a how-to\, but an interactive\, live\, discussion-based opportunity for camp leaders looking to build their network and grow their skills. Sessions will not be recorded. There will be two sessions in-person (one local to Lexington\, MA and one at the New England Camp Conference in Manchester\, NH)\, one hybrid opportunity\, and five Zoom sessions. The schedule is as follows: \n\nOctober 5\, 2023\, 10 am – 1 pm\, In-Person\, ACA\, New England offices\, 80 Westview Street\, Lexington\, MA\nNovember 2\, 2023\, 9:30 am – 11 am\, Zoom\nDecember 7\, 2023\, 9:30 am – 11 am\, Zoom\nJanuary 4\, 2024\, 9:30 am – 11 am\, Zoom\nFebruary 15\, 2024\, 9:30 am – 11 am\, Zoom\nMarch 21/22/23\, 2024\, In-person at ACANE conference in Manchester\, NH\, 90 minutes (day/time TBD)\nApril 11\, 2024\, 10 am – 1 pm\, Hybrid (in-person attendance at ACA\, New England in Lexington\, MA highly recommended)\,\nMay 2\, 2024\, 9:30 am – 11 am\, Zoom\n\nCost:      $269/ACA members; $319/Non-members. (Registration is for the duration of the series – eight sessions in total.) \nREGISTER HERE!\nTrying to decide if this is a good fit for you? We’d say yes if your job responsibilities include overseeing several of the bullet points listed above and you can prioritize and commit to attending the full series of sessions. Day and overnight camp staff are all welcome.\nAs space is limited to around 20 participants to ensure meaningful interactions\, we can only accommodate one staff member per camp at this time. Participants will receive 14 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for their full participation.\nIf you are looking for more skill-based sessions or other resource communities\, please look at ACA\, New England’s event calendar or reach out to ACA\, New England for help identifying other opportunities to meet these needs.\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator \nNick Teich\, PhD\, LCSW\, runs Fairwinds Camp Consulting\, where he trains and consults with camps on a myriad of issues. In 2009 Nick started Harbor Camps\, and\, over the next 13 years\, oversaw the purchase and renovation of its own lakefront property and grew it to more than 800 campers each summer. Nick has a master’s degree in social work from Boston College and a doctorate in social policy from Brandeis University. \nNick began his overnight camping career in Maine at the age of 10\, where he subsequently became a CIT\, counselor\, and a member of the camp leadership.

He got his start in Camps at Camp Nashoba North in 1994 & has worked in many environments; therapeutic-adventure with Outward Bound\, Classroom-based with the Exeter Alternative High School\, and has been working with youth and adults as an educational consultant at The Browne Center as well as teaching at UNH since 2010. Jeff holds a B.S. in Outdoor Education and Psychology from UNH and an M.S. in Experiential Education from The University of Minnesota.

Connections\, and a qualified Level 7 Life Coach specialising in personal and professional development for adults and adolescents. All of our coaching frameworks are centred around Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to champion social emotional health and wellbeing. Amy is an international public speaker delivering topics to help others overcome limiting beliefs\, and adopting a positive mindset through EQ. She guides audiences to find their voice\, drawing on her system to support the development of EQ: ‘SEL S.E.E. M.E. Mind Mastery’ through awareness\, authenticity and the telling of anecdotes\, which incite courageous conversations to leave them with life-enhancing takeaways. \n\n\n\n\n\nDoug Sutherland – Originally from St. Louis\, MO\, Doug moved to New Hampshire to work directly with children and adults in the outdoors. Summer camp is Doug’s happy place. Currently\, he is working as a DEI Facilitator and Consultant and he is a member of the ACA\, New England Board. His love of camp comes after family\, friends\, and building enriching communities. Actually\, this is pretty similar to camp. \n  \n  \n  \nElizabeth Snell – Elizabeth\, New England’s Director of Accreditation Services\, works with all things Accreditation and the New Camp Director Workshops. \nElizabeth grew up in Long Pond Pennsylvania. Starting as a camper at age 8\, she never left camp.  After a short time in Indiana\, she was very excited to come back east to work at ACA\, New England. \nElizabeth has a B.A. in English from Alvernia College\, MS.Ed in Sport Management from East Stroudsburg University and a Masters in Camp Administration from Indiana University. \n  \n  \n \nAmelia Luke – If you call the ACA\, New England office\, you’ll likely hear Amelia’s friendly voice on the other end. However\, as ACA New England’s Operations Coordinator\, you can think of her as a Jane of all trades\, dabbling in many of the projects that the team works on. Amelia’s camp experience began at age 4 when she attended Wanakee in Meredith\, New Hampshire for the first time– she hasn’t looked back since. Amelia attended camp every summer after and served five summers on staff at Wanakee in varying roles from Counselor to Operations Director. \nHer passion for camp is\, in part\, what inspired her to pursue a Masters in Public Administration at the University of Vermont\, after earning her B.S. in Public Communications there.
