No matter what Summer 2021 looks like, we’ve got to get people registered first! Here are the ins and outs of a registration season like no other!

Today, we have two seasoned camp owners with us to share their 2020 experiences and to give us some perspective on the trends they are seeing in 2021 registration. Both of our guests operate overnight camps and can provide a unique perspective on their approaches to getting their campers to return in 2021 and what they are doing to attract new campers. We’re thrilled to welcome David Miller from Camp Starlight in Pennsylvania and Jeff Bradshaw from Camp Wenonah in Bracebridge Ontario.
