"Influence Responsibly" is an interactive staff development program designed to equip camp professionals with the tools to address rising antisemitism and foster a supportive camp environment. Participants are guided through thought-provoking discussions using data from the Anti-Defamation League's audit on antisemitic incidents. The program emphasizes the importance of camp counselors as role models, helping them reflect on their influence over campers, both online and offline. Through group discussions and real-world examples, counselors learn how to create safe, inclusive communities, where campers can feel supported and empowered against hate. This program encourages empathy, curiosity, and non-judgmental leadership, preparing counselors to handle sensitive issues and promote respect and understanding.
