21 | Camp is the New Old Neighborhood

In this podcast we are talking big ideas, actual and actionable takeaways, and lots of fun with the camp community and professionals!

On this episode, Jolly Corley joins Jack Schott and they get right into it talking nonprofits and titles! On this week’s episode Jolly is sharing how to look for competencies in your staff interviews, controversial staff retention ideas (that work for Camp Robindel) and avoiding the phrase “common sense”.

 If you’re looking for a podcast that covers hot takes and goes several different directions, this is the pod for you. 

Producer EmJ’s takeaways:

1. “Common Sense” = bad. Common to who, ya know?
2. A lot of what we sell to families to attend camp can be sold to staff (connections, experiences, etc.), it might just be with different terms. 
3. Staff retention can come organically when individuals share their reflection and story telling to loved ones after the season.
