What would it look like to raise your children in a camp setting? Join host Allison Krabill in an engaging discussion where she, alongside our guests, Megan Lynch , Carolyn Harari, and Katrina Dearden, delve into the intricacies of juggling parenthood and camp life. 

Unpacking the realities of being parents and camp professionals, the crew brings you personal stories that illustrate the delicate balance between camp duties and parenting. They recount the challenges they've faced, such as lack of childcare facilities and the complexities of transitioning back to 'normal' life post-summer. Fear not, they also highlight the joy of seeing camp life through our children's eyes, and celebrate the support that camp community can provide.

If you're keen to explore the intersection of parenting and camp life and broaden your perspective, this is the pod for you. 

Producer EmJ’s takeaways:

1. No two parenting experiences and needs are going to be the same. Even if your camp does have a paternity plan, it may not be the best for you. Take the time to think about what you need and listen to yourself.
2. The African proverb, "it takes a village" rings true here. I loved hearing about Katrina's chef being a safe space.
3. Camp would be a really cool place to grow up. Bonus points to those parents & caretakers.
