5 | Staff Recruitment: Selling Fun

In this series of episodes we’re 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. 

On this episode, Jack Schott and Justic Pritikin tackle some hard hitting reality checks. Does your camp have a leadership succession plan? How can you really sell camp to staff when you’re 20 years older than them? Is Jack someone you’d consider a “classic model”? 

The guys talk reframing the summer camp experience, keeping camp on your professional resume and so so much more. If you’re looking for a podcast that gets your wheels turning, this is the pod for you. 

PRODUCER EMJ’S TAKEAWAYS:

1. Craft the language of selling camp by the experiences, but don’t make promises you can’t keep (ex: “you’re going to make so many friends” vs “you’re going to meet some cool people”).
2. Don’t refer to people as their generation name.
3. No public math, but your staff is doing the math. 

Next week the  conversation will continue with Monia & Murph, stay tuned!
