Is your camp planning for a big milestone year?
JCamp 180 consultants Dalia Krusner and Ari Polsky host periodic informal drop-in sessions for camps who are approaching milestone or anniversary celebrations.
These drop-ins create a space to share successes and challenges, crowdsource ideas, and learn and share with your peers.
You can find recordings of past drop-ins and related resources on this page.
