SUMMARY:The Camp Reset: A Three-Part E-Series
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: Registration for the full series will be open until 10/15\, and newly registered participants will receive the full session recording. Starting on 10/16\, registration will be available for Parts 2 & 3 – a recap of Part 1 will be available to new registrants. Please reach out to gillian@acanewengland.org if you have any questions.\nThe goal isn’t to reinvent your camp. It’s to make sure every summer leaves you better prepared for the next one. \nThis three-part series will explore how to capture lessons while they’re fresh\, identify the systems behind recurring challenges\, and make intentional changes that strengthen hiring\, training\, supervision\, and leadership practices. Along the way\, you’ll discover opportunities to reduce recurring frustrations\, build leadership capacity\, and create a camp that is easier to lead – not because camp gets easier\, but because you’re no longer solving the same problems year after year. \nWhether you’re a seasoned director or stepping into a new leadership role\, The Camp Reset series will help you turn summer experiences into practical improvements that support both your camp’s success and your own sustainability as a leader. \nPart 1 – Don’t Lose Summer 2026: Capturing the Right Lessons Before They’re Gone\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 from 10:00 to 11:30am ET \nEvery summer leaves clues. Some point to systems that worked better than expected. Others reveal recurring frustrations\, unmet needs\, or opportunities you don’t want to miss. This session creates space to step back from the day-to-day demands of camp life and take a thoughtful look at the season you’ve just completed – while the lessons are still close enough to be useful. \nLearning Objectives\nParticipants will be able to:\n• Identify operational\, staffing\, leadership\, and organizational lessons that should be captured before the season ends.\n• Use a structured debrief process to distinguish isolated incidents from recurring patterns.\n• Document successes\, challenges\, and opportunities for improvement in a way that supports future decision-making.\n• Assess their own leadership experience by identifying bottlenecks\, delegation opportunities\, and factors that contributed to burnout or fatigue. \nPart 2 – Make It Mean Something: Finding the Systems Behind the Stress\nTuesday\, November 17\, 2026 from 10:00 to 11:00am ET \nOnce you’ve identified the clues\, the next step is making sense of them. This session focuses on the recurring challenges\, frustrations\, and successes that shape a camp season and asks a simple question: What might they be trying to tell us? By looking for patterns rather than isolated events\, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the systems and practices that influence your staff experience\, operational effectiveness\, and leadership workload. \nLearning Objectives\nParticipants will be able to:\n• Analyze recurring staffing and operational challenges to identify potential root causes.\n• Differentiate between individual performance issues and system-level challenges.\n• Evaluate how hiring\, onboarding\, training\, supervision\, communication\, and policies contribute to recurring problems.\n• Prioritize improvement opportunities using a structured framework for impact and feasibility. \nPart 3 – From Insight to Action: Building a Better Next Summer\nTuesday\, January 12\, 2027 from 10:00 to 11:30am ET \nInsight alone doesn’t create change. The real value of reflection comes when it shapes the way we hire\, train\, communicate\, supervise\, and lead. In this final session\, we’ll focus on translating what you’ve learned into practical action – identifying a handful of meaningful changes that can strengthen your camp\, support your staff\, and make next summer a little easier to lead than the last. \nLearning Objectives\nParticipants will be able to:\n• Identify decisions\, responsibilities\, and processes that can be delegated to supervisors and leadership staff.\n• Apply lessons learned from the previous season to improve hiring\, training\, supervision\, and staff support systems.\n• Develop strategies to build leadership capacity and reduce organizational dependence on a single leader.\n• Create a practical action plan for implementing improvements before the next camp season. \nRegistration\nParticipants can register for one individual session\, or for the full three-part series bundle. If you’d like to attend two of the three sessions\, please reach out to Gillian (gillian@acanewengland.org). Participation in all three parts is not required but it is recommended. This is a 200-level offering best suited for those with hands-on experience.  \nPart 1 Only: Member $30/non-Member $45 \nPart 2 Only: Member $30/non-Member $45 \nPart 3 Only: Member $40/non-Member $55 \nSeries Bundle: Member $80/non-Member $125 \nA recording of each session will be available to registered participants for 30 days.  \nIf you register after Parts 1 or 2 have taken place\, recaps will be available to catch you up.  \nRegistration is non-refundable but may be transferred to another member of your team prior to the start of the session.

DESCRIPTION:Join our partners at Alliance for Camp Health (ACH) for a free info session about the MESH(+) Seal and what it can do for your camp!\nMESH(+) Seal Program Overview\nAt a time when young people and adults are all longing to be seen\, feel heard\, and sense authentic connection\, ACH is exploring the best ways to elevate care for healthier communities. Your desire to obtain the MESH(+) Seal helps us reach that goal by creating an opportunity to examine your program through a comprehensive well-being lens.\nThe MESH(+) Seal program recognizes camps and programs that intentionally evaluate and integrate Mental\, Emotional\, and Social Health(+) throughout their operations. MESH(+) Seal programs consciously incorporate practices and strategies that enhance mental health\, emotional resilience\, social development\, and overall well-being in meaningful ways. \nA Process of Discovery and Growth\nThe MESH(+) Seal application process serves as a valuable analysis and reflection framework as you develop your program’s comprehensive approach to camper and staff well-being. Through documenting your current practices and reflecting on the MESH(+) Seal specific required elements\, you’ll gain insights into opportunities for integrating well-being practices into existing programming\, identifying staff training opportunities\, and establishing evaluation tools. \nThis process invites you to look at the camp experience from every angle\, considering how your program supports the whole camper while also exploring how you can create a more positive\, meaningful\, and rewarding experience for your staff. \nThe Four Pillars of MESH(+)\nThe MESH(+) Seal evaluates programs across four health-related pillars:\n1. Summer Program Design: Your activities integrate mental\, emotional\, and social health principles into every aspect of the camp experience\, from daily schedules to special events.\n2. Staff Training: Your team receives specialized preparation in recognizing youth mental health needs\, implementing evidence-based practices\, and creating positive environments for all campers.\n3. Health Screening and Intake: You maintain comprehensive processes that identify individual camper needs and strengths\, allowing for personalized approaches to support and growth.\n4. Medication and Care Measures: Your protocols extend beyond traditional camp health services to include ongoing support systems that respond to both community and individual needs. \nJoin the Growing Movement\nIf you are interested in learning more or discovering how your camp or program can apply for the October 1\, 2026 – March 1\, 2027 MESH(+) Seal submission window\, please join us for this MESH(+) Seal Overview Webinar and hear directly from a panel of camp professionals who have gone through the process. \nWhat: MESH(+) Seal Overview Webinar: Beyond Compliance: How MESH(+) Challenges Values-Based Excellence \nWhen: October 8\, 2026 @ 2 pm EST | 1 pm CST | 11 am PST \nCost: FREE \nClick here to register!\nQuestions?

You will walk away with a clearer direction and solid program for summer 2027. A follow up zoom meeting will take place in January for further brainstorming and sharing. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nParticipants will develop specific tools to evaluate effectiveness of existing CIT program.\nParticipants will gain a greater understanding of the key elements in a competitive CIT program.\nParticipants will develop their toolbox of ideas and activities to help CITs grow into effective leaders.\nParticipants will expand their professional network with colleagues in similar roles and experience.\n\nThis is a 200-level workshop best suited for participants with existing CIT programs. \nDay and overnight camps welcome! \n  \nDates & Rates \nWhen: Friday\, October 23\, 2026 from 10:00am to 3:00pm \nWhere: ACA\, New England Office in Lexington\, MA \nCost: Member $85\, non-Member $115 \nClick here to register! \n*Registration is non-refundable but may be transferred to another eligible member of your team prior to the start of the program. \nFinancial assistance is available.
