Camp Counselors

Every year, dozens of diverse camp counselors arrive in one place with just hours to figure out how to live and work well together.

Today's screen-heavy culture has led to a gradual weakening of the everyday social skills that make teamwork natural. Breakdowns in communication, quick reactivity, personality clashes, and difficulty navigating stress are costing teams more energy than they can afford. And a divided social climate has made unity more challenging than ever.

 

Aligning counselors around one shared purpose takes intentionality, humility, and skill.

 This 2.5 hr interactive training experience is designed to guide camp counselors from diverse backgrounds to live, lead, and work well together in close quarters. Through practical tools and engaging activities, counselors will hone the social skills needed for:

 

  • Effective & confidant communication

  • Direct peer-to peer conflict resolution 

  • Emotional regulation under pressure

  • Stronger collaboration accross differences

  • Appropriate escalation protocols and leadership engagement

  • Increased professional judgment in staff interactions

 

So that their energy stays centered where it matters most: on the campers.​

  • Authenticity– building trust to strengthen the team.

  • Social skills– communicating well in tense moments.

  • Self-awareness– understanding how your personality shapes your impact.

  • Self-regulation– responding with composure under stress.

  • Empathy– leading with understanding, not assumption.

  • Risk management– knowing when a moment needs extra care and attention.

Post-training, participants report a 40% increase in social awareness and understanding towards those they live and work with.
