The support you need
As a young, female, resident camp director it can be a very lonely place to be. But when you listen to these lady’s you feel like your right at home. So many awesome takeaways from every single episode. It’s the professional development that I definitely need and look forward to!

Camp professional development
Really enjoy listening to all the Camp Hacker podcasts. The women of Camp Code give great inspiration, ideas, and talk about things in a thoughtful way. Helpful professional development to think about the issues they bring up, even if we all have different ideas and takes.

The Best and Most Effective Staff Training Schedule - with Shoshi Rothschild - Camp Code #166

Q: How can sessions build confidence without overwhelming young staff members?

Start with clear goals for each session, avoid overload, use a mix of interactive and experiential formats, and close with debriefs that reconnect to the initial objectives while incorporating feedback and adjustments as needed.

Q: Where should a camp director start when deciding the order of sessions during the training week?

Begin either with the individual—helping staff understand themselves as leaders and their strengths—or with the community—introducing camp culture and then narrowing to role-specific training; both approaches should end with activities that reinforce the big picture and personal growth.

Q: Start by telling us how you define great staff training and what it looks like in practice.

Great staff training is motivated, energized, and empowered staff who have the necessary skills and clear expectations, with a focus on learning through action and building trust through shared experiences rather than overload of information.
