What do you during the year?

What do you do during the year? I get that question all the time. Most people have no idea what it takes to get a camp ready for operation. There is so much to do!! From enrolling campers, to hiring staff, to doing cabin assignments, etc. Here's a brief glimpse into some of the things we do during the year...

Camp Fairs. Campus Kids attends camp fairs in CT, NY and NJ. Most of the camp fairs we attend are sponsered by ACA, PTAs and Referral Services. At camp fairs we have the chance to meet potential camp families, to briefly talk to them about our camp and answer any questions they may have. It's also a time that we get to meet other camp directors or catch up with old friends from other camps. P.S. some of the camp fairs have the best bagels I have ever had!!! Yum-O!!!

Tours. We offer tours throughout the year to new and prospective camp families. It's such a great time for a family to come up to camp and just look around. At this time of the year it is kind of hard to imagine camp since it's covered in snow. However, once we start talking about camp and all of the great activities I think anyone would be psyched for camp snow or no snow!!!

Interviews. Throughout the year we conduct interviews with potential counselors, supervisors and staff assistants. It's actually a lot of fun. Most of our interviews are conducted over the phone. We talk about everything from school, to experience working with kids, to their favorite book. If we have found the right person for CK, the phone call is AWESOME!

I love talking about our camp, campers, activities, etc. Whether I am at a camp fair, doing a tour or conducting an interview. I get to think and talk about camp 12 months out of the year ...who has a better job than I do during the year???

And I get to blog...
