If the success of your camp is your responsibility, then the success of your staff is your responsibility.

The idea that our summer staff need to be set up for success is one of those ideas that is intuitive, yet extremely difficult to get right.

Couple that with a seismic shift in the psychology and expectations of this generation of staff and the “correct path” to properly coaching and nurturing this generation of staff is going to be more important than ever.

Whether this episode is an affirmation of your staffing philosophy, or you’re feeling the strain of this gen of staff, Chris, Gabz and Travis are here to give you practical advice on how to increase the impact of this essential staffing mindset.
