Summer 2020 Debrief pt. 2 - Camps That Didn't Run in 2020 - The Day Camp Pod #38
Find full show notes at https://gocamp.pro/day-camp-pod
What was it like for Day Camps who DIDN’T RUN this summer? Tune in to this episode of The Day Camp Pod with Kelly Schuna and Ben Esposito to find out more!
Summer 2020 was challenging for all, especially for those of us who chose to NOT TO OPEN for a traditional summer of camp. While we have the utmost respect for those camps that found a way to make it happen, today’s podcast is dedicated to our colleagues who had to make a choice they never thought they’d have to make.
This episode, we’re featuring the stories of two terrific camp programs and their thoughtful directors- one from the north, and one from the east.
Tune in to this episode to hear about:
- Welcoming our guests Kelly Schuna and Ben Esposito and learning a bit more about what the Summer of 2020 looked like for them.
- What did the decision-making process look like for Kelly and Ben that lead to them not running this summer?
- How did they communicate their hard decision to their staff and camping community?
- How were they able to make it work? What did staffing, program development and financing look like?
- Much, much more!

Reenrollment - The Day Camp Pod #39
Find more at http://daycamppodcast.com
When’s the right time to think about reenrollment? How do you know they’re ready to come back? Well, it’s at least time to start thinking about it, so let’s get to it.
As Day Camp Professionals, we can come up with the greatest camp programs and initiatives in the world, but it don’t mean a thang, if you don’t have the campers enrolled to fund your warm and fuzzy amazingness.
It’s basic business that it’s way easier and cheaper to enroll LAST YEAR’s families, than it is to find, tour, schmooze and procure totally new campers.
So let’s discuss what camps are doing to retain last year’s campers, and for camps that didn’t open last summer, or camp families that chose not to attend- how to turn 2019 campers into 2021 campers.
Tune in to this episode to hear about:
- Welcoming our guest Andrew “Juice Boy” Yankowitz and hearing about his resilient rise through the ranks to his current role.
- What are the challenges to enrollment after a summer with no camp?
- How do we get families to trust that the summer will go on when the world is in chaos?
- Some great ideas for enrollment in a normal season!
- Much, much more!
