In 2023/2024, JCamp 180 is offering a series of webinars designed to give camp professionals the tools and skills to increase recruitment and retention. The series emphasizes the core elements of enrollment: strong storytelling, top-notch customer service, data-driven decision making, and a great summer program, and will focus primarily on the first three elements.
The series is designed for all camps: small and large camps; day and overnight camps; camps struggling with retention/recruitment and those doing well and looking to improve.
*NEW for 2024* We
launched our NEW Enrollment Assessment & Activity Workbook at the kickoff webinar. This workbook can be used as a standalone tool or - better yet - to complement our Enrollment Webinar Series. Download the book at
