Every conference has more sessions than anyone can attend. These are a few that caught my attention and why I’d personally be interested in the conversation.

The Bias You Don’t See: Creating Space for Everyone at Camp

Speaker: Bridgette Barbera-Byrne

Time: March 10 | 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM

Room: 413

Unconscious bias can quietly shape our interactions, decisions, and the camp culture in ways we may not even realize. This interactive training will help camp professionals recognize the "hidden" biases that influence how we lead, communicate, and build camp communities.

Why I’d attend

Camp is about learning how to lead together. When we have a greater understanding of what we bring to the table - knowingly and unknowingly - our ability to cooperate magnifies. Bridgette is incredible at making sure we all do our “emotional pushups” that aid in revealing the hidden cultures that exist at camp in a way that makes you feel welcome.

Transform Your Training with Activities that Make Your Messages Stick

Speaker: Jed Buck

Time: March 10 | 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM

Room: 402

Do you have important training messages that need to stick with your staff long after your pre-camp training ends? This interactive session includes a fresh collection of training activities designed to reinforce key lessons and build engagement.

Why I’d attend

The Bucks are an unstoppable force when it comes to training - and not just for camp teams. They are “Thee Guys” when it comes to demonstrating how to facilitate connection and creativity in the World of Staff Training.
