More and more recreation and fitness professionals are called on to create day camps for children in facilities that have traditionally been geared to recreation and fitness users. New programming and operational challenges arise as professionals are asked to serve a different population with innovative programs through these camps.
You can overcome those challenges with Day Camp Programming and Administration: Core Skills and Practices. This handy reference, which is geared toward new professionals, will help you
• conduct a needs analysis and prepare a proposal for a facility-based camp, regardless of your setting;
• develop business and marketing plans for your camp;
• manage risk and generate money through your camp; and
• manage programming, staff training, and administrative processes from conception through evaluation.
The book comes with a CD-ROM that supplies you with a comprehensive set of worksheets and forms to assist you in planning, operating, and evaluating your camp. You can use these printable tools as the book guides you step by step through the camp management process. You will be exposed to an array of program choices and training and administrative tasks that will help you run successful camps.
The author draws on her 12 years of experience in running day camps to help you plan your camp. You will learn how to gather information in making wise decisions as you get started, how to plan for safety and comply with health and safety standards, and how to develop camp policies and communicate with parents. You will then be guided through organizing the camp structure, including registration, the business plan, and the daily schedule. You will explore how to hire, train, develop, and evaluate staff, and you will examine common camp programs and discover how to select and implement your own program. Finally, you will learn how to evaluate your program and use that evaluation in preparing future camps.
Day Camp Programming and Administration: Core Skills and Practices covers all you need to know to operate your own facility-based day camp―whether you are a professional in a municipal recreation department, a fitness owner looking to branch out, or a campus recreation professional. This guide addresses challenges you'll face as a new day camp provider through practical examples, tried-and-true suggestions, and tips that will help you fulfill your community's needs, increase your bottom line, and provide fruitful experiences for your day campers.
