Description

Camp, whether day or resident camp, happens mostly in groups—the cabin, the bunk, the day camp group. Campers arrive in groups, live in groups and go to activities in groups, yet most staff training focuses on skills with campers one-on-one. This concise, practical program develops the essential skills all staff need to have more effective, productive group meetings with campers. This is more of the best of Bob Ditter and includes things like holding a first cabin or group meeting, checking in with campers, and solving problems as a group with greater cooperation and success.
