Camp is perfect, right? Right? At least, my camp is...
You've thought it. So have we, and so has every camp enthusiast since the beginning of camp-time. And yet, we know that sometimes people have an experience that is less positive than we planned and prepared for. This likely doesn't mean everything at your beloved site is doomed, but it may mean something had or has broken down.
On this episode, we're breaking down what happens when, for one reason or another (likely more than one), there is a deficient experience for some participants. We call them "breakdowns" in the research and project reporting of five fundamentals. We'll talk through how we can go about uncovering these deficiencies in the first place, share what the data tells us about the consequences when breakdowns happen, and where to focus energy in taking steps to restore alignment between hoped-for mission and campers' lived experience.
Plus, we have a doozy of a #QuickQampQuestion about the large-camp/small-camp gap and a #StatOfTheWeek tied to our breakdown conversation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
