Summer Camp Staff Training
'Scott brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our staff orientation. He is a dynamic leader and our staff are better prepared for the challenges and joys of working at camp after his training sessions. Scott sets himself apart by personalizing training sessions to our camp's specific goals and needs. We always look forward to his summer visit and are grateful for our relationship with Scott.'

Camp Consulting
“I have partnered with, and worked alongside Scott as both a trainer and consultant. His knowledge and energy for all things camp and the work we do is spot on. As a presenter he is engaging both the seasoned camp veteran to the first timers. As a staff trainer and program consultant I have found his approach refreshing and engaging. I would say his strength is providing those memorable tidbits to all levels of staff to make the hard work we do better. From helping camp counselors with tool for engagement and connection to operational suggestions and an outside eye for Executives and Owners. I would highly recommend Scott."
