Looking In The Mirror:
How to Reflect, Process
and Better Understand
Your Summer CampSteve Maguire, M.Ed.
1) Take what you want and leave
the rest!
2) Participation –
“Voluntarily Mandatory”
3) The absence of your phone will
offend no one. Thanks.
4) Be happy 
Look at 5 areas to get better…
• Infrastructure… Why are ‘things’ the way
they are? Flow patterns, organization
• Staffing… How is your staff with kids and
with each other?
• Physical Plant… Landscaping, conditions
of areas, safety, beautification?
Look at 5 areas to get better…
• Customer Service… How do you follow up
with everyone? Who and What is the
voice of your camp? How’s your word of
mouth?
• Campers… How’s enrollment? How’s
retention? How many new campers?
How are you meeting diverse needs?
For the next 6 minutes please…
Please make groups of 2 and talk/write
about how you think your camp can
improve in one of the following areas…
• Infrastructure – Flow patterns, organization
• Staffing – How is staff with kids and each other?
• Physical Plant – landscaping, safety, buildings
• Customer service – Follow up, word on mouth
• Campers – enrollment, retention,
Real Reflective Organizational Health
Practices Require EVERYONE to …
• Be Honest
• Be Transparent
• Be Emotionally Vulnerable
• Accept Flaws
• Have a Willingness to get better
With Reflective Practice think about…
•How did we get
here? (It’s finding out the why and how, not the blame game!)
• With both positive/successful areas as well as
around areas that need improvement!
Infrastructure… Can we do this faster, more
efficiently, smoother? – hear from you!
Sometimes the answer is no. However, try to avoid
“It is what it is.”
Infrastructure…Salad Bar and Music
Staffing... Let’s hear from you!
• Great staff create the heart and
soul of a great summer camp!
• “How was your counselor?”
“What was your counselor like?”
“Staff may forget what
you say, but they will
never forget how you
make them feel.”
The ever changing 4 Kinds of staff –
Admin Self-evaluation
•100%er
•Foundationer
•Along for the rider
•Anchor
“When it comes to reflecting
on staff behavior and
expectations, camps are as
successful as what they
tolerate”
Mid-summer booze!
Physical Plant – Let’s hear
from you!
• EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO…
* PAINT
* CUT THE GRASS
* IMPROVE YOUR SIGNAGE
* PICK UP AND MAKE TRASH INVSISIBLE
We need to look for
opportunities to create
more shade and provide
more water in/on the
physical plant!
How much of this
do you have, but
don’t see?
This
process
is going
to take
Drone your camp
(Literally if you want!)
“Little things are
BIG things”
Customer Service – Let’s hear from you!
Open the box… thousands of dollars
Let’s not take ourselves too seriously
“Sorry about that! It’s
wasn’t the flight
attendant’s fault. It
wasn’t the pilot’s fault. It
must’ve been the
asphalt.”
John O’Keefe Rules
1) Return everyone’s
correspondence
2) Keep your job site clean
The kids – Let’s hear from you!
• Is your staff kid centered? Is ANY staff kid
centered?
• Interview question # 1: “What do you think of
kids?”
• What are we offering from a program perspective
that kids will love?
• How can we be more camper centered?
Traits of a camper centered staff…
•Go!
