9: Digging into Conflict
 
In this podcast we are talking big ideas, actual and actionable takeaways, and lots of fun with the camp community and professionals!

Jack is joined by Laura Kriegel and Allison Klee to breakdown restorative justice at camp, conversational receptiveness and more that created the foundation to inspire the next generation of radically empathetic decision makers at Camp Stomping Ground. 

The crew starts at the beginning with, “What even is RJ?” to then dig deeper into:

1) Why practice it at camp?

2) How do you put systems in place to practice with staff and campers?

 If you’re looking for the 101 on Restorative Justice at camp and some good resources, this is the pod for you. 

Producer EmJ’s takeaways:

1. When you look at conflict as an opportunity for innovation and connection, it makes it less intimidating to confront because there is powerful purpose behind it. 
2. Gaga Ball is a great medium to actively work on circles and community building.
3. A common theme that we hear throughout these podcasts is the importance of building a team of staff that have a wide variety of interests and skills. We hear this when they discuss the importance of the systems needed to build in community and space for connection to take place.
