P.R.A.C.tical Skills the Pandemic Has Taught Camp Counsellors - First Class Counsellors #46

The pandemic has taught us some important lessons…here’s how to apply that learning to camp (and how to talk about it in a job interview!)

Since the beginning of the pandemic, have you…

  • Had to wait in a super-long line?

  • Be hyper-aware of how risky a potential gathering might be?

  • Change plans on a moment’s notice?

  • Do something you’ve never done before to learn, gather or connect?

Of course, you have!

When it comes time to apply for your next camp job, you have two years worth of experience to reflect on and translate into the camp context. This episode, Oliver and Matt share the first 4 skills in the form of the acronym P.R.A.C.tical.

What is First Class Counselors?

Camp Directors, this Podcast isn’t for you. It’s time to delegate! First Class Counsellors is for your counselling staff, the ones who are on the ground, playing with kids and changing lives.

Each week, we’ll cover practical and accessible tips that will level up your camp counsellor skills. These are things every counsellor should know, but that you may not have time to teach in staff training.

Our two hosts, Oliver Gregan and Matt Wilfrd from Go Camp Pro are excited to be able to provide this resource to camp counsellors and up and coming staff, who they believe, have the most important job at camp.


This is free professional development for your counsellors! We would love your feedback. Please leave your comments below, or, send Matt an email! Thank you!
