Trillions and Trillions Served
Everyone who's interested in summer camps can find and share information, learn about trends, news, and important events. It's more than an industry. It's a scene, a zone, a happening. It's a place to belong. It's a compelling force that keeps us coming back.
The Heart of Camping
Camps with a heart focus will talk about how they impart their values, and quite specifically how they go about fostering their mission. They will often speak to the importance of their mission for children, perhaps in the context of wider society. You’ll find messages from the heart, as opposed to just from the perspective of mind or body . . . a Camp Scholar excerpt by Dr. Randall Grayson.
Theme Esteem
A theme line gives people a short-form, easily memorized explanation of what makes your camp different and thus desirable. In a market where we all admit that word of mouth is a critical factor, a theme line is more likely to find its way into parent-to-parent conversations than a long mission statement — writes camp marketing expert Steve Cony.

A Day in the Life of Three Special Needs Camps
“We want to have a camp with a full range of children and adults who can come,” says Paul Freeman of Camp Caglewood. He continues — “Children with disabilities, mainstream children, LD children, and children with terminal illnesses. We want all of these different populations to be integrated so that they can learn from each other — to help build a better society.”
