Grownups Need Camp Too

Podcast

It’s true. Adults are a deeply important audience for your camp in one way or another – or more likely, in many ways. Not just as a donor, parent, or partner, but as one who can have personal, meaningful experiences at your camp.

On this episode, we’re talking about adult engagement at camp, especially in retreat and other year-round opportunities. We’ve got four reasons why adults belong at camp and, more frankly, need what your camp has to offer. Then, we’ll talk through four ways how many camps are creating space for these grownups to experience the unique ministry your site offers. From trust-building to behavior modeling and more, these ideas give us some foundation for why retreat, conference, and other adult engagement ministries matter, and we’d love to hear more from your camp.

Our #StatOfTheWeek shares how things are going in enrollment for retreat ministries, and our #QuickQampQuestion asks the other end of the spectrum – if these retreat ministries are eating our summer ministries.
