A simple toolkit for keeping your staff engaged from first contact to final campfire. Based on the Full Cycle Retention Framework, this resource is built for directors, team leads, and anyone driving camp culture.


🔁 The Full Cycle Framework (Quick Recap)

Act I – The Build-Up

From offer to arrival. Belonging starts before staff training.

Act II – The Main Feature

On-the-ground engagement using the “5-Scene Arc” and emotional repetition.

Act III – The Sequel

What happens after summer? Community-building, reflection, and returner reactivation.
