Summer camps are vibrant.

Your consulting service should be, too.

A former camp director who has spent over 20 summers at overnight camp, Shoshi loves working with camp leadership teams to help them design and implement strategies to improve staff culture, experience, and retention. Every season, she works with a number of camps across North America, designing and facilitating engaging and experiential training workshops that help staff members to develop skills such as supervision & evaluation, problem solving, and conflict resolution. She is an avid speaker at camp conferences across the globe, including the Ontario Camps Association Conference, Foundation for Jewish Camp’s Leaders Assembly, Camp Leaders’ Camp Collab, and the American Camping Association’s Women in Camping Summit. Shoshi was the 2018 recipient of the Foundation for Jewish Camp’s Award for Excellence in Education at Camp, and is a proud alumnus of the Foundation for Jewish Camp’s Yitro Leadership Program.

Make your camp the best version of itself with our support.

  • Staff training

    Whether you are looking to do an overhaul of your entire staff training curriculum or you’ve identified a few key challenges from last summer that you’d like to address in one or two workshops, we will work with your camp to custom design staff training opportunities that meet the specific needs of your staff team. Choose between on-site or virtual facilitation, or have us develop the workshop for you and train you to facilitate it yourself. Examples of past workshop topics include: conflict resolution, feedback & evaluation, goal setting, self care, communication, team building, midsummer motivation, gratitude & appreciation, and accountability & integrity.

  • Camp program development

    Work with us to develop intentional values-based programs for your campers and/or counselors in trainings that are fun, exciting, engaging, and offer them a chance to develop skills such as leadership development, team building, and communication. We also work with Jewish camps to develop informal Jewish learning opportunities to strengthen your campers’ and staff members’ Jewish identity through everyday camp activities.

  • Staff evaluation

    Does your staff evaluation process need updating? Work with us to better understand best practices surrounding staff evaluation, and have us design and implement a new evaluation system for your camp that will bring out the best in your staff members and encourage them to succeed in their roles.

  • Impact assessment

    Any camp professional knows that a summer spent at camp has a lasting impact on our campers and staff members—but how do we share this with our community, stakeholders, and donors? Work with us to collect meaningful data on the impact your camp has on its community members and learn how to share it with those who matter most.

  • Mentorship & coaching

    Being a camp professional can be a lonely job sometimes, and it's nice to have someone to turn to who understands the challenges that arise. Our mentorship and coaching services are geared towards early-to-mid career professionals and can be offered on an ongoing or as-needed basis.

  • Organizational culture

    We all know that without staff, our camps could not exist. Over the years, staff recruitment has become more difficult, and staff retention rates are in decline. Work with us to improve your overall organizational culture and ensure that you are providing your staff with an amazing experience that keeps them coming back year after year—and bringing their friends with them!
