A Zoom Gathering for our Camp and Conference Leaders is Held Every Third Thursday - Our monthly Zoom calls are held almost every third Thursday of the month at 11:00am EDT. These Zoom call with your fellow camp and conference leaders will cover a specific topic, as well as offer mutual support. We hope you will be a part of this conversation. You can join us for the Zoom call listed below at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82867576883?pwd=Bu95hdEjBXbrrMgdHxeqrmwBo144vT.1. If needed, the passcode is 984320. For our Zoom call scheduled on Thursday, May 21, at 11:00 am EasternThis session will focus on summer camp marketing. We are not specifically looking at this summer, but what we need to do in the months ahead for our marketing efforts for next year (and beyond)? What pictures do you need for publicity? How do you get your best camper, parent, and staff quotes? Are there particular parts of your program that could be better explained on your website? Are there particular metrics that you want to track this summer? How could you encourage your summer campers (and possibly their families) to attend other year-round programs offered by your ministry? These questions (and the others that you bring) will be part of the conversation. Please come prepared to share…and to steal good ideas for others in the field 🙂 This will be our last Zoom call until August 20. Have a great summer! We hope you will join us for this time of fellowship and support among your fellow camp and conference leaders. If you have a topic suggestion for a future call, please contact Joel Winchip. 36 Discounts for Our 2026 Members! - As a part of the benefits you receive through membership, Campfire Collective offers special discounts on different products and services related to camp and conference ministries.
