Learn from our mistakes...here’s how to make sure you keep your friends this summer.

They say making friends as an adult is hard... but whoever said that for the first time had never tried being an overnight camp director, juggling the demands of a 24/7 job with friends back home.

We don’t claim to be experts on this, we have certainly lost some friends and damaged other friendships over the summer and we want you to learn from us.

Grab your coffee, tea or other beverage and listen in.

Being a Mentor - Beyond Camp #41

Giving back isn’t as hard as you think!

Many of us are fortunate to have incredible mentors in our lives, people we can turn to, ask questions to and share our failures with.

But how do you become a mentor?

Do you have to have worked in the industry for 50 years? Do you have to be a walking encyclopedia of answers? We would argue no - the best mentors are those who know themselves, know what they have to offer and can connect you with others.

You’re ready to be a mentor, we believe in you!
