Join us for practical direction for camps on how to establish your plan, how-to steps on what to do, and what not to do. We’ll share best practice examples of communication with parents, staff, campers and the communities we serve. We’ll discuss engaging with local media proactively in preparation for summer and talking points in case you get a call tomorrow. Lastly, we’ll explore identifying trending topics your camp might encounter this summer beyond COVID-19.
