What does it really take to create a culture of belonging at camp?

Mastering the "Business" of Camp with Jane McCutcheon

Building a thriving summer camp requires more than just "warm and fuzzy" feelings, it demands rigorous professional standards and an intentional focus on safety. Many leaders struggle to balance the magic of the campfire with the hard metrics of a successful operation. This episode breaks down why treating your camp as a high-level business actually protects the heart of your mission.

Big Ideas

The Business-First Paradox: Why prioritizing your camp as a business is the only way to safeguard the "soft and fuzzy" outcomes for your campers.
The Danger of "Homegrown" Hiring: The one interview question you’re likely skipping that identifies if a staff member loves the place or the people.
The Return Rate Deep Dive: How to use granular camper and staff return data to identify your strongest (and weakest) unit leaders.
Rethinking Supervision: Why the transition from "free time" to "absolute supervision" is a necessary evolution in modern camp culture.
The Caring Counselor Metric: What a 1992 focus group revealed about why parents really choose camp—and it’s not what you think.

Your Hosts

Jane McCutcheon - Jane McCutcheon is a legendary camp owner, author of over 10 industry-standard camp books, and an MBA graduate who has spent decades professionalizing the summer camp industry.

Leading with Heart and History - with Larry Bell - Intentionally Intentional Leaders

Lessons from 80 Years of Camp Robin Hood

Join Travis Allison as he sits down with Larry Bell, Director Emeritus of Camp Robin Hood, Canada’s oldest privately established day camp. In this episode of Intentionally Intentional Leaders, Larry reflects on his legendary career—from becoming a director at just 23 years old to navigating the massive shift from paper-based logistics to modern digital systems. The conversation dives deep into the "why" behind camp traditions, the evolving relationship between camps and parents, and the secret to building a staff culture where everyone feels seen, supported, and personally invested in the mission.

Key takeaways include:

The Power of "Why": Larry emphasizes that camp staff shouldn't just follow rules; they need to understand the purpose behind every action. When staff understand the "why," they take ownership of their roles, turning a summer job into a high-level professional development experience.
Scaling Intentional Connection: Despite managing a seasonal staff that grew from 80 to over 300, Larry made it a point to know every individual. By taking photos during interviews to ensure he remembered faces and stories, he built a culture where the Director was approachable and every staff member felt seen.
Invisible Technology vs. Front-and-Center Logistics: From 21-page carbon-copy bus routes to the custom-built "Larry App," the goal of technology at camp should be transparency. Larry discusses how high-tech back-ends should make the logistics invisible so the staff can focus entirely on the human experience.
The "Helicopter" Evolution: Larry notes a significant shift in the camp-parent partnership over the decades. He discusses the challenge of modern parenting styles that sometimes "stymie" a child's growth and how camp remains a unique environment for children to build resilience outside their parents' protective bubble.
The Evolution of Tradition: Rituals like the Camp Robin Hood dance aren't maintained by accident. Larry shares how involving a year-round senior staff in reflecting on "what worked" ensures that 80-year-old traditions remain vibrant and relevant for a new generation of campers.

Key Takeaways include:

A Deep Belief in Humanity: Chris shares his unprovable belief that everyone is fundamentally trying their best, even those we deeply disagree with, offering a powerful, empathetic lens for camp professionals.
TQAMP’s Mission: Understand why TQ Camp focuses on creating spaces of belonging for campers of all genders and sexualities, and the practical consulting they do around inclusive housing, advocacy, and handling challenging caregiver conversations.
