Best Practice for Leadership Training

From Kim

Let’s find ways to introduce our staff to the reality of working at camp. If we could find ways to introduce our staff to camp, show them what camp looks like or feels like. Kim created a handout called A “sense” of camp for new or returning of staff, with a “scent” sticker of camp with a scratch and sniff sticker. A copy of this ides can be found here!
