Scott is no longer the “cool young buck” of the camp industry. Tune in to hear about the lessons learned from his years of experience!
Scott Arizala is one of the greatest staff trainers that I’ve ever learned from. He’s a master teacher, able to translate big concepts with humor, realism, and story telling. You’ve seen him at ACA National, you’ve seen him at Tri-State, if you’re crazy lucky- you may have even seen him at your Camp.
And if you’ve never experienced Scott, you’re in for a real treat. Damn, Scott, you better live up to this grand intro- THIS, is the Day Camp Pod!
