Summer Camp Kick-Off

On June 6th, we are hosting a Summer Camp Kick-Off professional development event for camp leaders and staff at the beautiful Green Mountain Club in Waterbury. This will be a day to center on recharging, preparing your afterschool and summer program staff, and celebrating the joy of our work -- all while gaining 3 hours of PD credit.

We’ll be tackling things like de-escalation, transitions, rainy day activities, and the summer slump, all while embracing the best parts of camp life. Zinc-covered noses, tie-dye shirts, and your favorite footwear (yes, we mean Crocs) are highly encouraged. Lunch and s'mores are on us!
