Camp Stuff

CPR | Lifeguarding | Archery | Teambuilding

Life isn’t just about spreadsheets—and neither is camp.

With strong roots in summer camps and youth-serving organizations, I support camps through staff certifications, safety training, and program development. Whether you’re preparing for the summer season, onboarding new staff, or strengthening existing programs, I work with you to create training experiences that are practical, compliant, and camp-centered.


Don’t meet the minimum enrollment?

If your camp doesn’t have enough participants to meet a course minimum, reach out anyway. I frequently combine staff from multiple nearby camps or add your team to an existing course when possible.

This is especially helpful for smaller camps or specialty programs.
