Ok, maybe lifestyle is a bit of an exaggeration, but at JCamp 180 we take enrollment very seriously. Increasing camper population and sustaining revenue is, after all, the bottom line. Our Enrollment Program is based on a comprehensive and holistic interpretation of what drives camper enrollment, and how to increase it. If you think it’s simply marketing, our enrollment flow chart may be a shocker.
While marketing is critical, and our curriculum offers several ways to upgrade your marketing strategy, we also look at how data infrastructure, customer satisfaction, budgeting, fundraising, strategic planning, staffing/professional development, and governance all affect enrollment. And so you may have already noticed how all of our work with our 116 camps is infused with a new emphasis on enrollment.
