Best Practice for Leadership Training

From Gabrielle 

One of the most overlooked aspects of camp leadership is ensuring staff are equipped to handle unexpected situations, especially when traveling in camp vehicles. A simple but game-changing investment is a portable battery pack jumperthat allows staff to restart a vehicle without needing another car.

Technology has advanced significantly, and these compact, easy-to-use devices can be a lifesaver when a vehicle’s battery dies unexpectedly; whether from a forgotten interior light or other minor issues. Some even come with built-in air compressors for inflating tires.

For camps that rely on transportation, having these tools in every camp vehicle ensures quick solutions, reduces stress, and keeps staff and campers safe. A small investment in preparedness can prevent big disruptions and provide peace of mind for everyone on the road.
