1 | Staff Recruitment:  In this series of The Summer Camp Society Podcast episodes we are taking a deep dive addressing how staff recruitment is needed more than ever and what the people around the camp community are doing about it. 

What do summer camps and musical festivals have in common? Actually quite a bit when you think about it, BUT specifically– they both need staff! On this episode, Jack Schott, Nelson Strickland and Gregg Golf start tossing out ideas for this next season of staff recruitment. 

The guys consider how camps optimize their budgets to recruit in the most meaningful way, and question what we are really trying to sell to potential staff. If you’re looking for more than the average recruitment tactics, this is the pod for you. 

Producer EmJ’s takeaways:

1. Staff love the “clout”, give it to them on Instagram
2. Cool people know cool people, get your staff to help recruit their community
3. Jack greatly underestimates the sizes of musical festivals

Next week the staff recruitment conversation will continue with Chris Rehs-Dupin.
