Your New Camp Video
Please, somebody make this video at your summer camp and submit it back to me. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with.
Why not two videos? One now for North American camps running winter programs and one in the summer.
Please leave a comment here when you finish them!

Presentation - Social Media Marketing for Summer Camps
On Tuesday I gave a 3-hour presentation at the Canadian Camp Director's Course at Tim Hortons Onondaga Farms. About 20 new(ish) directors from around the country had come together to spend three days learning from professionals in the industry.
Here are the slides from that presentation. I had trouble with my recording on that day so I'll be recording it one afternoon (in a room talking to myself...) next week and I'll link to the videos.
If you are interested in some help applying these principles at your camp please fill in the form.
