Elective-based, choice-based, whatever you call it, it just may be the future of camper programs.

We welcome back one of our original hosts, Dan Weir and welcome back Jack Schott from The Summer Camp Society (and TSCS Podcast!) to unpack all things choice-based programming.

You’ll hear:

• How do we actually define choice-based programming
• Why was this model so radical 10(ish) years ago
• What are the benefits of giving campers more ownership over their camp experience
• How does a choice-based model tie into equity, intentionality and positive social development (yes, we go deep in this one!)
