The Lock Trick - CampHacker Video

CampHackers are the kind of people who look at everything about summer camp and think "How can we do this better?".   CampHackers see an everyday problem and think outside of the box.  CampHackers are our kind of people.

This is how it all started: the CampHacker videos.

Free Range Kids at Summer Camp

I had an amazing opportunity to have a chat with Lenore Skenazy from the Free-Range Kids book and blog.  We talked about her experience being "America's Worst Mom" (not my words - Lenore has proved she's an awesome mom to me) and what that has taught her about parents.

Lenore has some great stuff to say near the end about how summer camps can better speak to parents about getting their child to have an amazing summer camp experience.

Why are parents so scared? What can summer camp directors do to help parents understand the value of the camp experience and how it will benefit their children. CampHacker Travis Allison interviews Lenore Skenazy from the Free Range Kids blog (and book!). http://camphacker.org
