    Building Bridges: Inclusive Leadership in Camp Culture

    In this episode of Camp Code by GoCamp.Pro, the hosts discuss the importance of integrating peripheral staff members, such as kitchen, maintenance, and admin staff, into the camp community. They emphasize that running a camp should focus on people rather than paperwork, and they share practical ideas for including these essential team members in daily, weekly, and camp-wide activities. Strategies include sharing stories, creating a buddy system, and recognizing their contributions through various forms of appreciation and training. The goal is to foster a positive and inclusive camp culture where all staff members feel seen, celebrated, and connected.

    Best Practice for Leadership Training

    From Beth

    By scheduling at least two moments of recognition each day—whether it’s fun facts at flag, shoutouts for drivers, a kitchen crew dinner served by program staff, or camper-written thank-you notes—you create an ongoing rhythm that reinforces belonging and respect across all teams. The key isn’t the size or extravagance of each gesture, but the consistency and inclusivity of your approach. Rotating themes and involving campers keeps it fresh and ensures everyone feels valued. Over time, these daily touchpoints layer together to create a strong, positive culture where appreciation becomes a natural, shared habit.

    Leadership, Resilience & Rekindling Passion in Camp Operations

    In this episode of Camp Code, hosts Gabz, and Beth Allison return for the twelfth season to explore leadership training, industry updates, and practical strategies to support camp directors in a post-pandemic landscape. The trio dives into key operational challenges and introduces the Resilient Camp Blueprint, a new framework designed to help directors maintain focus, manage burnout, and improve systems with simple, daily changes.

    Gabz reflects on her recent transition out of a full-time camp role and shares insights from her time at Camp Ouareau, while Travis and Beth highlight the growing complexity of leadership development and the urgent need for intentional support in the industry. The team discusses Gen Z staff dynamics, emphasizing the shift away from traditional evaluations and toward collaborative feedback.

    The episode introduces essential tools for efficient camp management, including the PATH framework (Protect, Amplify, Trim, Humanize) and a compass rose that centers camp operations on four foundational P’s: People, Place, Programs, and Protection. These concepts encourage directors to streamline processes while staying true to their camp's mission and values. Addressing director burnout, Travis shares how the Resilient Camp Blueprint was inspired by conversations with leaders post-COVID, where the need for rest, creativity, and sustainable practices became clear. The group discusses strategies for cultural stability, staff retention, and embracing "2-second lean" changes that compound over time to create lasting impact.

    Best Practice for Leadership Training

    From Travis

    At camp, problems can feel endless—but most of them come down to just three things: self-esteem, systems, or structures of power. Is someone acting out because they need reassurance or confidence? That’s self-esteem. Are drop-off, cleanup, or bag-packing always a mess? That’s systems. Do certain people feel unseen or unheard because of bias or unspoken dynamics? That’s structures of power. When you start looking through this lens, you’ll notice almost every challenge falls into one—or sometimes two—of these categories, and the path forward becomes clearer.

    Best Practice for Leadership Training

    From Amy

    As we continue to look for ways to improve health and safety at camp, it's important to consider not just infectious diseases, but also broader environmental factors that can impact the well-being of both kids and staff. One resource that might be new and valuable to you is the Canadian Partnership for Children's Health and Environment.

    Their website, HealthyEnvironmentForKids.ca, offers a wealth of information on air quality risks — including the impact of wildfire smoke and air pollution. These are increasingly relevant concerns, especially in outdoor camp settings.

    Whether you're preparing for the season or updating your safety protocols, this site provides practical, research-based guidance to help you create a healthier environment for everyone at camp. It's definitely worth a visit.
