Every camp owner eventually faces the same question:
What's next?
Maybe you're thinking about the next generation taking over. Maybe a longtime director could become the owner. Maybe you're considering bringing in a partner, transitioning without selling, creating a nonprofit, or selling the camp outright. Or maybe you're not ready to do anything at all—but you know you should start thinking about it.
Your Next Chapter: When? Why? And How? is a candid, practical, one-day workshop designed specifically for privately owned summer camp owners who are considering their future. We'll take a deep dive into the many ways a camp can transition—and the financial, familial, operational, legal, tax, and emotional considerations that come with each path.
You'll hear from experienced camp owners and professionals who have navigated these decisions themselves.
This isn't simply a seminar about selling your camp. It's about understanding your choices.
Because the best time to think about your next chapter isn't when you're forced to. It's while you still have options.
Come prepared to ask difficult questions, explore possibilities, and begin building a transition plan that works for you, your family, and the future of your camp while connecting with camp professionals who are in similar circumstances.
