Alumni Engagement: Worth the Effort?


A LIVE and interactive online webinar from JCamp 180

Webinar Information

On Thursday, February 26, JCamp 180 Mentors Julia Riseman and Dan Kirsch and Technology Program Manager Kevin Martone led a live and interactive presentation on Alumni Engagement, with special guests Holly Guncheon from Herzl Camp and Sarah Howard from B'nai B'rith Camp. You can find the recorded video, archived chat, and other related resources below.

There is an expected return on investment for your Jewish Camp Alumni Engagement efforts. This webinar is designed for Board Members, Camp Committee members and Camp leaders who are curious about why your Camp should invest more time and effort in Alumni Engagement.

  • Why reach out and stay in touch with yesteryears's campers and families?
  • Why should they want to stay in touch with you?  What is in it for them? 
  • How do you go about building an engagement program?
  • How do you measure success in your Engagement program over time?

This session is appropriate for Day and Overnight Camps.
