Hey Reader, In the past few months, I’ve been on calls with camp directors so worn down they’ve been in tears. They love their purpose as a Camp Maverick — but the staffing battles, admin overload, and constant red tape have stolen the joy from their work. I hear it all the time: “I never get to the part of the job I actually love anymore.” That’s why I created the P.A.T.H. Decision Compass (part of our Resilient Camp Blueprint)— a simple, two-page guide to help you quickly decide what matters most and take action without spinning your wheels. [Download your free P.A.T.H. Decision Compass here] And if you’re ready to reclaim your time and lead again with energy, the 3S Check-in Worksheet [click to download] is where we can help you ask the right questions to make that turnaround happen. 🎯 You started this job to change lives — not drown in administrivia. – Travis PS.I'm going to be posting on social media (LinkedIn, in particular) and ads on the Go Camp Pro podcasts to invite people to sign up and download these two resources. As a loyal USELetter reader, Reader, I wanted to make sure you got them first. |

Hey Reader, This week might be feeling long. Your team might be running on fumes. Here's something small that helps. Try this at your next staff huddle Pick one person. Name what they did. Say why it mattered. "Jordan noticed that camper sitting off alone, invited her in, and helped her laugh. That moment made her whole day." Thirty seconds. That's it. Your staff are doing things like this every day. They just don't always know you saw it. Recognition like this shows up in our data, too....
Go Camp Pro's USELetter - May 2026 - Part 2Let 'em be bored, Reader. I've been learning a lot from Go Camp Pro's new podcast, Camp Programming, By Design. In the most recent episode, Chris and Ariella showed me perspective on boredom that I hadn't considered. You should listen - but if you don't have time right at this moment, here are two lessons that we should all be thinking about when it comes to us, and our camp programs this summer.
