SUMMARY:Spring Overnight Camp Staff Training Workshop: Reviewing\, Revising\, and Reimagining Your Staff Training Schedule
DESCRIPTION:Do you wish you had one whole day to dive into your staff training schedule and curriculum?\nDust off that very important binder and join your fellow residential camping professionals for a one-day workshop dedicated to reviewing\, revising\, and maybe even reimagining your staff training schedule! We all know that our big plans for staff training often get pushed to the back burner when faced with the multitude of other responsibilities that come with a new camp year. The morning will be spent evaluating with a wide lens\, focusing on setting intentional progression\, weaving in camp culture and values\, and identifying areas for improvement. The afternoon will dive into the details of the three S’s—speakers\, spaces\, and seat time—and finally\, content areas. Are your important content-area trainings on programming\, behavior\, policies\, and procedures checking boxes or actually preparing your staff? This workshop will be structured around small-group work\, engaging activities\, and exercises to guide evaluation and spark creativity. \nNote: This workshop is designed specifically for overnight camps and may not be relevant for day camp professionals. Please reach out with any questions. \nDates & Rates\nWhen: Wednesday\, April 15\, 2026; 10:00am to 3:00pm ET \nWhere: ACA\, New England Office – 80 Westview Street\, Lexington\, MA 02421 \nCost: Members $75; non-Members $100 \nRegistrations are NON-refundable \nClick here to register! \n*This is an in-person workshop and will not be recorded* \n  \nAbout the Instructor\n \nBecky Alford is the Camp Experience Director at Kingsley Pines\, where her primary role is to support the social-emotional well-being and behavioral needs of campers and staff throughout the summer.

SUMMARY:Your Camp Leadership Team: Whom and What Create the Strongest On & Off-Season Management?
DESCRIPTION:Running a camp is becoming more complicated each year\, as trends change quickly.\nBetween business operations\, program\, facilities\, campers\, staff\, parents\, and more\, it can be difficult for even the most seasoned directors to know what and whom they need in order to keep their camp on top. In this session\, Dr. Nick Teich will dive into which year-round and summer leadership positions are becoming more (and less) common\, and how to think about streamlining your team so that your camp is covering all the bases. We’ll discuss summer positions\, year-round full-time positions\, leveraging seasonal staff for off-season part-time positions\, as well as when (and what) to outsource. \nLearning outcomes: \n\nParticipants will have an exercise in thinking critically about their camps’ needs in terms of year-round operations\, summer operations\, and the “in-between” (e.g. how summer employees can help year-round on an hourly basis).\nParticipants will learn which leadership positions are most common\, and which are trending to be more common or less common.\nParticipants will get ideas on how to bolster or change their leadership teams – and implement these changes – based on their camp’s specific needs relative to industry trends.\n\nDates & Rates\nWhen: Thursday\, April 16\, 2026; 10:00 – 11:00am ET \nWhere: Virtual on Zoom (meeting link will be sent prior to the start of the session) \nCost: Members $15 ; non-Members $25 \nRegister a second person from your team at no additional cost by selecting “2nd Person Complimentary Registration” in the drop-down menu on STEP 2 of the registration process.  \nClick here to register!\nThis meeting will be recorded. \nAbout the Instructor\nNick Teich | Owner | Fairwinds Camp Consulting \n \nDr. Nick Teich is an executive coach and consultant for camp directors and owners\, helping them with their camp’s unique needs and goals.
