Is your camp struggling to retain summer staff after one summer?  Are you approaching them as a summer hire or a long-term relationship?

In this GSB Roundtable, Dave Jarvis, GSB Consultant and retired Camp Director of 37 years, shares a unique approach on how to embrace the relationship with your summer staff so they know they are more than just a 12-week employee in the summer. 

Whether you serve at a large or small camp, the philosophy and ideas you will gain in this round table can transform your relationship with your summer staff.

In this session, you will:

Discover that there can be far more to the relationship you have with your summer staff than just hiring them for the summer.  By investing in them all year, they will become more committed to you and your organization, and they can be the foundation you build on for the next summer.  We will introduce some simple, yet effective, additions to your annual calendar that you can implement immediately that will let them, and their parents, know that they matter to you. 

This session is ideal for camp executives, program directors, and anyone invested in maintaining effective summer staff leadership.
