Learnings from the Field: MESH Supports at Camps

We know that mental, emotional, and social health (MESH) continues to be a topic of discussion for many camps as they explore ways to support staff and campers. Learnings from the Field sessions are designed for YOU to hear from camps doing this work in the field.

We will be joined by several camps who will share some strategies they have been implementing, including: Employee Assistance Programs, increased staffing models (community support teams, staff coordinator, and overall staffing), journaling for campers, and a serenity cabin. You will hear from:

  • Lisa Carter,  Executive Director of Agassiz Village, an overnight camp in Maine
  • Emily Courtiss, Director of Camp Vega in Maine, an overnight camp in Maine
  • Amy Podolsky, Director of Camp Sewataro, a day camp in Massachusetts
  • Liz Turnwald & Jess Smith, Co-Directors of EVkids, an overnight camp in VT (the organization also runs school-year tutoring programs) 

We are not experts, but practitioners. So, come to hear and learn from others and pose questions you might have.
