**Please Note: this presentation would be NOTHING with out @JackieHuba and her awesome book Monster Loyalty. Check her out: http://jackiehuba.com/ Little Monsters - one thing camp people have in common with Lady Gaga. No, I'm not referring to our campers, I mean that we have affectionate nicknames for the important people in our life. Lady Gaga is a top-selling music artist because she is amazing at building and looking after her community (whom she calls her Little Monsters). Camp Leaders can learn a lot (and will in this session) from how Lady Gaga's treats her True Fans. Learning Objectives 1. an understanding of the commitment Gaga makes to her True Fans and how easy it is to do with your camp families 2. a focussed plan to build an intensive two-way relationship with the campers and staff who LIVE to return to your camp. 3. specific actions you can take to build word of mouth referrals from your "Little Monsters"
