Care for the caregiver. ❤️

Camp leaders spend the summer pouring into campers, families, and staff. While they're focused on everyone else, you can be intentional about caring for them.

Now is the perfect time to plan a meaningful thank-you gift. Give an experience that offers rest, renewal, and fresh perspective. The Elevated Refreshery is more than a retreat—it's an investment in the people who make camp possible.

🎁 Give the gift they didn't know they needed.

Did you know our very own Kendra Perkins is a certified Challenge Course Manager and professional team builder?

At Innovative Camp Company, we know that strong teams don't happen by accident. Intentional team building helps strengthen communication, build trust, improve problem-solving, and create a more positive camp culture.

And here's an important reminder: team building isn't just for staff training week. Mid-summer is often when teams face their biggest stress points, communication challenges, and energy dips. A well-timed teambuilding session can help reset, reconnect, and refocus your staff for a strong finish to the season.

No matter the size of your team, now is the perfect time to book your personalized mid-summer team-building experience!

Special shoutout to Sylvaneers!

Last week, Innovative Camp Company's Sterling Leija had the opportunity to participate in the Camp Caucus Safety Briefing in Washington, DC. It was an important gathering of camp leaders, policymakers, and industry partners focused on strengthening safety, preparedness, and child protection efforts across youth-serving organizations.

At Innovative Camp Company, we believe that creating safe, positive experiences for children and families starts with a commitment to continuous learning and improvement. We were encouraged by the meaningful conversations taking place and inspired by the collective dedication to advancing safety throughout the camp community.

We also want to recognize the American Camp Association for its ongoing leadership in supporting camps through education, professional development, research, resources, advocacy, and opportunities for collaboration. Their work continues to help camps across the country provide high-quality, safe experiences for young people. We were proud to be part of this important discussion.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible and to all those working every day to ensure camp is a safe, quality space for kids!

Last week we spent some time at Historic Santa Claus Camp working on a camp signage project.

It’s always fun to walk a camp with fresh eyes and think about the little details that make a big difference for campers, families, and volunteers. Signs may seem simple, but they do a lot of heavy lifting at camp—helping people find their way, reinforcing safety, and making everyone feel more comfortable in a new place.

As we walked around camp talking about where signs should go and what they should say, it got us thinking about all the ways good signage improves the camp experience.

So we pulled together a few tips and tricks for camps that might be updating their signs this season! Sometimes the smallest improvements—like a well-placed sign—can make camp feel easier, safer, and more welcoming for everyone.

Camp friends: What’s the best or funniest sign you’ve seen at camp? 👀
