Unpack the Summer Workshop & Big Bear Camp Tours

Step away from the day-to-day and invest in YOU! Join fellow year-round camp professionals October 22–23 in the Big Bear area of California for two days of connection, reflection, learning, and a little camp fun. On October 22, we’ll network with camp friends, reflect on the past summer, and turn those lessons into plans for the summer ahead, followed by dinner on the town and an evening of fun hosted by EPIC (Emerging Professionals in Camp). On October 23, we’ll hit the road for visits to 2–3 area camps, getting behind-the-scenes looks at their sites while continuing to build relationships and share ideas with fellow camp professionals.  Come recharge, get inspired, and leave with new ideas—and new camp friends—to take back to your camp!

Registration Note: We hope you will join us for both days, but participants are welcome to come to just one of the days. Prior to the event, we will email you to gather more details about your lodging and dietary needs and if you will be staying overnight at Bob Waldorf.
