It has been some time since we have recorded a new episode! The reason being is Bobby has experienced a major shift in his work and today's episode is a reflection of that. In October of last year Bobby joined the TLC Family of Camps as a co-Director at Timber Lake West Camp in the Catskill Mountains of NY. On the next episode we will share more information about this new role and more about what Timber Lake West is all about. If you are curious now, head on over to TimberLakeWest.com.
Today on the podcast Bobby has coffee and conversation with summer camp professionals Dave Brown and John Hamilton.
Dave Brown grew up as a camper at Mountain Camp, a co-ed sleep-away summer camp located near Lake Tahoe. Growing up at camp Dave went on to work at camp as a Counselor in Training (CIT), a Junior Counselor and then a Cabin Counselor. After camp Dave went on to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and rejoined Mountain Camp as a year-round director. When not at camp, Dave offers training and consultation for youth-serving organizations such as camps, schools and non-profits through his company Fence Post Learning. Over the past 20 years, Dave has worked directly with children and families in a variety of roles and settings. As a Therapist, Counselor, Camp Director and Trainer. He has worked in treatment centers, schools, nonprofits and summer camps.
John Hamilton is a leader in the camp, out-of-school time (OST) and youth development fields. John currently serves as Chief Strategy Officer for the Alliance for Camp Health whose mission is Working toward healthier camp communities. John has a deep understanding of mental, emotional, and social health (MESH) needs of youth and a hope-filled perspective for our youth. John has a masters in Leadership and Cultural Justice, has been named the American Camp Association’s Subject Matter expert on MESH and Trauma-Informed Care at camp and is a former Executive Director of Camp Alta. From the ACH website, "With perspective from hands-on experience overseeing fifty-plus programs around the country, being onsite at an average of ten different camps per summer, and consulting organizations, John's voice will help restore belief in the future of our work and guide us to discover ways to create healthier summer learning communities."
That right there is why this conversation is so very needed and valuable. Many of you who are regular listeners are coaches and camper directors. Those of you from non-youth serving worlds, I know many of you are parents. When we say we sit down with leaders and we talk about culture and connection, in my opinion there is no better leader than a parent, no better culture than a family and no one better to connect with than a kid.
