The JCamp 180 Enrollment Program is designed to give camps the tools to increase both the retention of current campers and the recruitment of new families. The program is based on our philosophy that strong retention and recruitment involves four core elements:
- Effective storytelling
- Top-notch customer service
- Data-driven decision-making
- A great summer program
Participants will learn how to tell their story, gather data, evaluate their recruitment work, and create a comprehensive approach to enrollment efforts.
2022/2023 Enrollment Series
In 2022/2023, JCamp 180 is offering a series of webinars designed to give camp professionals the tools and skills to increase recruitment and retention. The series emphasizes the core elements of enrollment: strong storytelling, top-notch customer service, data-driven decision making, and a great summer program, and will focus primarily on the first three elements.
Registration in the series will include all seven webinars. However, participation in all sessions is NOT required. Join the sessions that are most relevant for you and your camp only.
The series is designed for all camps: small and large camps; day and overnight camps; camps struggling with retention/recruitment and those doing well and looking to improve.
