Why are
you
here?
Why do we
care about
staff retention?
Let me tell you the reasons
Makes hiring easier - everyone is returning!
Your camp ends up with higher quality experienced staff
A trusted and happy staff will work more in your favor.
It’s not about salary, it’s about morale.
The staff create the community and culture of your camp
The most important - the kids come back for the staff
We are in the relationship building business
