Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Vision at the Conference: Our conference is committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity within the summer camp industry, fostering an environment where all professionals can come together to learn, share, and grow. Through our programming and interactions, we strive to create a space where everyone is valued and respected, regardless of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ability, age, or background. By being intentional about diversity and inclusion, you will help us create a greater sense of belonging for historically marginalized communities. We ask each conference participant to actively help us create this environment of inclusion and belonging.
