Leaders Assembly 2018

Most if not all camps have programs that we run just because they did previously, and often because our campers and staff are expecting these programs again. As the tradition grows, most campers rarely know why we do certain things. What were the original goals? Were the participants expected to learn something? Were they expected to grow in some way?
We have found that helping our staff determine their personal values within our Camp values context, has positively impacted our summer program. Staff infusing values into their programs has elevated the impact on our campers. Everything matters when programming, from identifying the conflict inherent in the values, to methodology and use of physical space. In this interactive session we will explore a different way of approaching programs by starting with the underlying values and highlighting the conflicts in those values that spark growth.
