No matter what your summer looks like, kids will need team and character development activities! Michelle Cummings is here to help.

As we approach the final stages of summer prep, staff training is an integral piece of our summer success. Many camps are planning for virtual training, in-person training or a hybrid of both. Our guest today has been an expert in our industry on in-person team building and has now established herself as a virtual team-building resource as a result of our need to shift to an online space over the past year.  

We’re excited to have Michelle Cummings, of Training Wheels share with us her best practices for team building both in person and virtually as well as ideas we can all implement with our staff this summer.

Tune in to this episode to hear about

• In your opinion, what are the founding principles of team building that must be there for success?
• Talk to us about shifting to virtual team building and what can you share with camp directors and owners attempting their own virtual trainings this year? Virtual Scavenger Hunts/Escape Rooms.
• What are your go to training activities for camps that our listeners could consider adding this summer?
• Where do signed waivers fit into the relationship? For on-site testing, contracting COVID or activity participation in general.
• Where do we stand on COVID waivers?
