"10 Things
You Can Do To...."
The "10 Things You Can Do To..." is
a new column in Camping Magazine that will
begin in the March/April 2006 issue. The
purpose of the column is to highlight practical,
field-tested strategies for success in
camp operations, programming, staffing,
resource development, etc. The "10
Things You Can Do To..." column gives
a voice to camp directors, owners, and
staff, who will generate the content of
the column.
Some examples might be:
10 Things You Can Do To . . .
- ...recruit 5 high-quality volunteers.
- ...raise $10,000 to support your camp.
- ...attract two committed board of directors.
- ...stop bullying in your camp.
- ...make your camp an emotionally safe
environment.
We would like you to contribute your Top
10 list of practical ideas to Camping
Magazine.
Send your ideas via e-mail to magazine@ACAcamps.org.
We look forward to your bright ideas!
