André Brewer is back for part two of this incredibly important conversation.

You can’t just say you’re a “welcome and diverse camp”. You have to make the intentional choice and effort to actually be a diverse camp.

That means changing the way you market, recruit, interview, talk about and even run your camp program. This is definitely not “the way you’ve always done it” and that’s the point.

A giant thank you to André for joining us to share his experience and best practice with Camp Owners and leaders across the globe.

Thanks for letting your awesome out, André!
