Are you truly taking the operational side of camp seriously enough? If you're like many camp leaders, the answer is probably "not yet." This episode of the CampHacker Podcast dives deep into the often-undiscussed world of camp operations. Join hosts Travis Allison, Chris Hudson, and Rachel Kent, along with special guest Peter Elbaum from Camp Graystone, as they share insights, practical strategies, and personal experiences on making your camp run smoother.
Discover how freeing up time from back-office tasks can allow you to focus on what truly matters: creating unforgettable experiences for your campers. Learn about tackling frustrating dining hall bottlenecks, leveraging technology to automate repetitive tasks, and fostering a culture that embraces efficiency without sacrificing the human touch.
