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.
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.
Here you will find the recorded webinars from the 2022/2023 Enrollment Webinar Series.
