Many camps heard about the Lilly Endowment grant opportunity for Indiana camps last year. Kaleidoscope was honored to support 9 sites through Master Site Planning as part of that process.

This spring, we’ve celebrated as every one of the organizations secured Phase 3 funding. Thoughtful planning builds clarity, momentum, and confidence for the future, and Kaleidoscope's process laid the groundwork for turning dreams into reality. We can't wait to see these sites grow!

If your camp is ready to plan for what’s next, we’d love to start the conversation.

It is always a fun surprise to see your name on a sign!

One is getting named “Guest of the Day.” Another is stopping for a picture because you found a great sign that says kaleidoscope and immediately thinking, “Well, obviously I need a picture of this.”

It’s the little unexpected moments during travel and work that make me laugh and remind me not to take life too seriously. Enjoy your weekend!

Staff training will begin soon for many camps, here’s a simple exercise for your team to prepare. The strongest camps go beyond teaching policies, schedules, and activities; they prepare staff to create culture, display leadership, and deliver the mission.

Invite your team to answer: “what do we want our summer staff to be known for?”

The answers to that question can form your entire training plan. Great summers don’t happen by accident; they’re planned from the start.

Our work relies heavily on a process that includes many voices. Our greatest strength is listening through and facilitating conversations.

Somewhere on this page are the foundations of strategy: program models are being imagined, financial sustainability is being developed, big decisions are starting to take shape.

The work continues!

"I wish I had worked with Kaleidoscope sooner; the tools and the perspective on camp would have made me a better camp director."

Quotes like this underscore the importance of our work in partnering with camp leaders. Maybe we can help support and strengthen the work you're doing? Give us a call.

What a great time to begin visioning at Camp Linwood MacDonald, NJ. A few images from our time on site last week. The beauty is in the people, the place, and the simplest colors.

From a buddy board by the lake to trail markers guiding the way, every corner of this site sparks ideas about what could be next. Even the smallest details hold meaning.

Visioning starts with paying attention, noticing what’s already here, what’s working well, and what might be ready for new life.

We’re grateful for time spent walking the grounds, listening well, and dreaming alongside leaders about the future of this special place.
