What Inspires You? 

Things that inspire our hosts and guests to be the best Camp Owners they can be.

• Jonathan: Relevance of Camp - I know for an absolute fact that we need to be open for kids this summer.  The power of play and camp is the last venue that we can teach them that, especially amidst the pandemic. “If you want to improve your game, you don’t focus on your strengths, you focus on your weaknesses.”
• Howie: Quote from 1987 from Michael Brandwein at staff training: Participation Principle:  “People take better care of things they help create.”
• Kelly: Quote by Simon Sinek from his book “Infinite Game”: “The path to a victory is finite. The path to fulfillment is infinite ⇒ To live a life for fulfillment is to live as if there is no finish line ⇒ to play the infinite game.”
