15 | Continuing to Belong

In this podcast we are talking big ideas, actual and actionable takeaways, and lots of fun with the camp community and professionals!

This episode brings together Allison Krabill, Alice Hospitel, Melk Kowalkowski, and Mike O'Brien to talk teen programs at camp! They discuss different ways to make older campers feel like they belong, how to incorporate leadership in the sessions, and so much more. If you’re looking for great ways to level up your teen programs, this is the podcast for you. 

Producer EmJ’s takeaways:

  1. Your CITs don’t have to be your staff later. 
  2. Not everyone is going to fit the traditional camp counselor role— maybe we shouldn’t be asking that of all our CITs!
  3. Someone can change so much in a year. That’s a large percent of a young person’s life!
