What will Summer Camp look like in 5 years? We’ve brought in the next best thing to a crystal ball. Welcome, Travis Allison!

As we approach the start of the camp season, after the year we have all had and continue to have, we thought it would be great to have a conversation with Travis Allison, the Co-Founder of Go Camp Pro and someone so familiar to all of us in the industry. He is the co-host of the Camp Hacker Podcast and is responsible for all of the podcasts on the Go Camp Pro podcast network and is the person who brought us together. 

Travis is also the incoming president of the Canadian Camping Association. 

Our goal is to have an open discussion on important topics of the last year and get Travis’s take on the industry in general. 

Tune-in to this episode to hear about

• Camp as a business
• Promoting and Marketing camp
• Social Justice at Camps
• What do the next 5 years look like?
