Building A Stomping Ground

Up next in our staff reflections and stories from summer 2021: the channel 27 news anchor himself, Quarius Loucas! This guy can do it all. He makes announcements from the picnic table, leads dance parties, and recognizes the fun in making new traditions. Tune in to hear just how he makes it happen. 

We are beyond thrilled to bring you our SECOND season of the Building A Stomping Ground Podcast. This run will focus all on summer 2021, our first summer in our new home, and we will hear stories from all staff crossing all Stomping Ground departments and areas. There is a power in story telling that transcends any theory or idea we can try to convey in explaining how camp works. We hope you enjoy as our camp director, Klee, kicks things off! 

If don't know her yet, you will now. Shani Carrington is a beacon of human kindness and empathy. And we are beyond thrilled to welcome her to the squad. Sit down with us as we learn more about who she is and how she got to SG.

Our other new year round camp director, Shani Carrington, graces us with her depiction of what Stomping Ground is like through a beautiful spoken word poem. Take a listen!

In this second bonus episode, Ray sits down with Nelson to hear more about why he loves camp, what his favorite passions are outside of camp, and his amazing takes on how/when meetings should run.

Join us as we sit down with our two new year round staff members, the very first listeners of this podcast. Enjoy this first of four bonus episodes getting to know our new directors, Nelson Strickland and Shani Carrington. 

The season one finale dives into the most important aspect of camp - you. The staff, campers, donors, and supporters who we partner with to grow Stomping Ground's mission. You are now a part of the community, and you can play a critical role in camp's future.

The final quick hitters! Say it ain't so! Join George and Ray in their last attempt to cover a boat load of SG terms, this time focusing on the big ideas that have shaped camp over the years. 

This episode of the BASG pod focuses on the world around us right now, the political climate and the intersecting movements shaping society.  At Stomping Ground we take seriously the opportunity we have to inspire kids to think critically about the role they play in these movements.

Did you know Laura has her MSW? Join us as we get all sorts of academic in the BASG pod. Laura schools us on the youth development theories and practices that drive camp and influence our programming.
