🌲 Camp 2026: What a Difference a Day Makes 🌲
Day 1: Absolute chaos. 😅
We violated some of our own policies, fell into people-pleasing mode, and learned a lot in the process.
Day 2: Camp core activated. 💪
Smooth drop-off. Clear expectations. Strong programming. Happy kids. Staff in rhythm. More fun, more ease, and a much safer, more successful day.
Sometimes people don’t realize how incredibly challenging it is to run a seasonal day camp.
Every summer feels a little like launching an entirely new business from scratch—new staff, new families, new children, new dynamics, new programming, and countless moving pieces. All while keeping safety, connection, and meaningful experiences at the center of everything we do.
It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.
It’s also one of the hardest.
Every year, somewhere during those first few days, I find myself asking, “Are we really doing this again?” 😂
And then I watch a child make a new friend, overcome a fear, learn a new skill, or leave camp feeling more confident than when they arrived… and I remember exactly why we do it.
If you’ve ever participated in camp, supported our mission, volunteered, donated, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines—thank you. ❤️
And if you’ve ever wanted to be part of what we’re building, we’d love to hear from you.
📣 We are currently expanding our staffing team and looking for great people who love kids, adventure, personal growth, and making a real impact.
Because building something meaningful takes a village. 🌲✨
