From Kim

Supervising seems to fall to the bottom of our list. We want to ensure we provide supervisors with appropriate check-ins, all the way through the summer. Helping supervisors on how to manage time and reminding those supervisors that there are things that only “they” can do and things where they can “empower” others to complete tasks off of their todo list.

From Chris

One of the more important things you can do is to know what you are going to do first at staff training. Throughout the first hour or two of staff training, be extremely intentional to set the tone for your staff training. You can use these moments to have your staff reflect on their own nervousness and anxiety in a way that helps to build empathy with campers for their first couple of hours at camp.

We all try our very best to pack absolutely everything we can into staff training. How do we find room for it all? How can we sneak those basic skills our staff all need to know into an already packed schedule? We’ve got some ideas. Just us and our special guest, Kim Aycock.

Best Practice for Leadership Training

From Gabz

One idea that I use to help reinforce learning taught throughout training is to have designated staff members act as note takers during the day. The following day, provide print outs of the notes everywhere your staff will be. On the tables during meals, in the bathrooms, on staff pillows and literally everywhere else possible. One thing I like to do is provide notices on the walls in the bathrooms highlighting whats going to be covered today and key takeaways from yesterdays training.

Writing things down and sharing with your staff helps to reinforce retention with you staff and can be a tool to demonstrate progress for your staff during the training sessions.
