Most importantly, it helps demonstrate that we appreciate feedback/questions in our culture. As long as it feels genuine, your enthusiasm to teach and responses will encourage others to do the same. -Your Hosts:Beth Allison, Camp Consultant - Go Camp ProRuby Compton, Chief Exploration Officer - Ruby OutdoorsGabrielle Raill, Camp Director - Camp Ouareau-Thanks to our sponsor…UltraCampWouldn’t it be refreshing if your registration software gave you MORE time?
