Boundaries, sleep, and exercise - tools for camp pros that are just as important as duct tape and zip ties.This isn’t some fluffy episode where we tell you to take up meditation and manifest your stress away. Self-care for Camp Directors seems like an oxymoron most days. To accomplish any sort of balance in our camp lives, we need to put just as much intention into our self-care habits as we put into everything else we do at camp.
A camp director will best serve the staff they work with, when their needs are well met. Period. Full stop.
Chris, Gabz, and Travis are joined by Kate Taylor for a very frank and realistic perspective on what it means to prioritize self-care, even when it seems impossible.
