Mini-Pod - Preparing Your Staff for Camp, Post-Pandemic - The Day Camp Pod

Send us Fan MailWhether it’s this summer or next, we’re going to have to prepare our staff for the opening of Post-Pandemic Day Camp. Dr. G is here to help!The first summer after the 2020 pandemic is going to be a weird one.Logistics, health procedures, insurance, programming, it will all look different.One thing that we absolutely can’t miss is how we address the staff that we’re going to be working with this summer.How we address them, how we listen with them and how we empathize with what they’re going through now, will show your true colours as a camp leader.We don’t know what their current pandemic normal is and we can’t assume.We have to remember that no matter their age, our staff need to know that you are there for them and that you have their best interest in mind.This is definitely one of those “easier said than done” types of things. To help, Dr. Deborah Gilboa (yes, THE Dr. G!) talks to Andy about how to authentically remind your staff that they are cared for beyond just their employment status with you.If you listen to this and feel that you need some more help, Dr. G is offering her help to consult with directors and leadership staff to meet with parents, staff, and families and help foster cultures of emotional resilience.
