The first phase of the continuous improvement cycle is “prepare”. In this phase, camp professionals should ensure organizational readiness to engage in assessments and improvements. Specifically related to program quality, a focus should be on training staff to understand high-quality camp practices, structuring camp activities for learning, facilitating with these practices in mind, and building capacity to assess quality during peak operations. This is where the hard, but important work begins! Join us on the journey!
