22 | We're All Just People
In this podcast we are talking big ideas, actual and actionable takeaways, and lots of fun with the camp community and professionals!
EmJ Juszczyk is joined by Nick Teich and Jace Schara to talk LGBTQ+ camps and programming! They talk about what, if anything, is different about camps centered around LGBTQ+ campers (hint: somethings are different).
The crew talks bunking plans, traditional programming at camp and baby steps all camps can take to be more inclusive for all campers and staff.
If you’re looking for an insight on being more inclusive and wondering what you’re not thinking about , this is the pod for you.
Producer EmJ’s takeaways:
- Want to know what campers want? Ask them.
- Own and be honest about where your camp is in terms of being inclusive to campers and staff, especially if it’s not where you’d like it to be.
- All we’re really asking for is that everyone forms great friendships and keeps their hands to themselves.
