The Future Is Human: Why Camp Still Matters in an AI-Driven World - Scott Brody

In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into how summer camp is more than just crafts and campfires—it’s a hands-on incubator for empathy, independence, and creativity. Think of it as the friendliest startup accelerator you can find, where kids learn face-to-face connection in an age when the internet is literally in our pockets.

Scott Brody, camp owner and policy advocate, teams up with Jack Schott, a self-described “camp geek” who’s built and consulted for camps across the country. Together, they explore why “going off the grid” each summer is increasingly critical in a hyper-connected, AI-fueled world.
