Creating a positive environment where all feel a sense of belonging and connectedness is crucial for a successful camp experience.

We will discuss the five-domain framework of social-emotional learning, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. Andy Pritikin will provide tangible examples of practical ways to support the development of these skills in a camp setting that will benefit staff, campers, and camp families!

There will be ample time for discussion and questions, as we will combine theory and practicality to provide a roadmap to intentionality, with a goal of having your camp walk the talk that your marketing materials profess!
