  • Wednesday, March 19th | 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
    • Funding Character Development at Camp: Steps and Strategies for Successful Grant-Writing: The purpose of this workshop is to equip participants with the skills to successfully apply for grants to support their camp mission. With a specific focus on the Character at Camp grant program, participants will learn the steps and skills necessary for applying for basic grants, including how to find grants, how to tell if they're aligned with your needs, components of a basic grant application, and what happens next if you do or do not receive a grant.
  • Thursday, March 20th | 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
    • Character Development at Camp: What it is and How to Get There: The purpose of this workshop is to understand what character is (and what it's not!) from the perspective of science of learning and development. With this knowledge, participants will identify specific character development goals for their campers and staff and develop a road map for achieving those outcomes through staff training, program design, and parent and community engagement. 

*If applicable, register early to take advantage of early bird rates.
