What’s the best way to ensure our staff keep coming back?
Since the staff revolution of summer 2021, most camps have put more focus on the staff experience than ever before. If we’re being honest SOME focus, as opposed to hardly any, as most of us realize that we’ve been taking our workforce for granted. So, less stress, less burden, less responsibilities, with more pay, more support, more attention - AND STILL… It often doesn’t feel like enough.
Gen Z Justin and Millenial Jack join us today to reframe the staff experience things from their perspective, and help us better understand what’s needed in 2024 at our camps. THIS, is the Day Camp Pod!
