26 | Seasonal Leadership: Supervising Your Friends

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

On this episode Allison Krabill is joined by Laura Grube, Hanna Sue Percy, and Lenny Lorenz, all season leadership staff at their respective camps. This group talks through year-round engagement, supervising their peers, and what they wish you, their boss, knew. Producer EmJ looks at this episode as a “something I wish I would have heard when I was younger”episode. (Hint: send it to your leadership staff!)

If you’re looking for perspectives on camp from your middle management and the next batch of young professional, this is the pod for you . 

Producer EmJ’s takeaways:

1. I <3 the framing, “do you want me to listen or do you want me to find solutions?”
2. There are so many ways to provide and receive feedback!
3. As they were talking about checking-in on staff and off-time activities, it made me wonder if camps set in place off-time for their non-counselor roles. Does your camp leadership team have an off-schedule? If so, can you send it to me?
