Staff Engagement is a HUGE part of the job of every full-time camp professional…even Camp Owners!While we have spent a good portion of the season on the various ownership and leadership models in the industry, we have decided to jump into a topic that is always on our mind, staffing and the staff experience. Today, we have someone who has some great thoughts and ideas on combating the staff challenge by viewing it as a year-round strategy. We first got to meet Shoshi Rothschild in Liverpool at Camp Collab, a staffing conference held in Liverpool last fall. Shout out to Camp Leaders for putting the event on!
It is there that we found Shoshi’s ideas really relevant and I think super helpful and excited to have her on the show.
In this great episode, we cover:
What are some other ways we can look at the staff experience more holistically, instead of just focusing on the summer experience?

What does the other side of succession look like?This season of the Camp Owners Podcast, we’ve been focusing a lot on the future. From AI, climate change and succession, we’ve been encouraging Camp Pros to think about the intentional decisions they can make now to set their programs up for success.
In all of this future-planning, we can’t forget about the people that will take on the mantle of owner/director!
This LIVE episode of the podcast is dedicated to those people!
Howie sits down with Jordanna Grossinger and Jesse Kronick, two next-generation camp professional to discuss how they have navigated the waters of growing up in camp and their paths towards taking on the mantle of their parents and mentors.
We’re grateful to Joe Richards, the Ontario Camps Association and the team at the BMO IFL Conference Centre for capturing the audio and bringing it to the pod and for Jack Schott from The Summer Camp Society for joining Howie as co-host!

When people think of succession, it’s easy to think of it being a familial thing - a director’s kids taking over the family camp and moving it into the next era.
But what happens if your kids aren’t the right next step for camp? What happens if they aren’t interested?
What is your succession plan if it doesn’t involve a clear predecessor at all and a new owner would be a big compromise?
Adam Kaplan and Stephanie took a different approach to succession and we’re delighted to welcome them to the podcast to share their journey of moving Camp Nebagamon away from private ownership to a non-profit.

Don’t just build it - grow it, sustain it, watch it thrive.All of us are constantly looking to make our teams better whether it's the addition of personnel who add fresh ideas, the re-organization of our team structure and roles or an examination of how team members interact and communicate.
Ultimately our goal is to create the highest functioning team possible. We are excited to have Dave Malter, who is an educator, trainer and life-long camp guy to share his thoughts and insight on this topic.
