TSCS PODCAST 11: Culture of Belonging
11 | Culture of Belonging
In this podcast we are talking big ideas, actual and actionable takeaways, and lots of fun with the camp community and professionals!
Jack is joined by TSCS’s very own Allison Krabill & Alice Hospitel to talk the culture of belonging for your staff at camp. We’ve all been there, our first day of a new job, school, or group. The make or break moments of first impressions and what to expect upon arrival. On the podcast, these three talk ideas and plans for how to make your staff feel connected and have a sense that they belong there.
If you’re looking for real ways to plan staff arrival and camp culture (WITH ways to delegate these plans) , this is the pod for you.
Producer EmJ’s takeaways:
Without relationships at camp, not much else can happen.
Is Taylor Swift a camp director?
Seeing things for the first time is a superpower.

alice Hospitel
Alice, the Director of Member Success at The Summer Camp Society, is the world's best connector. Okay, that's what Jack says. They are classically trained in fine arts, play a mean zombie at camp, and run the Stomping Ground CIT program.
More than anything, Alice thinks way outside the box while somehow building authentic relationships with everyone they meet. Want to know more, check out this video!

Allison Krabill
Allison Krabill first chanted the camp name to light the magic campfire at age 6 and quickly became that one kid that never stops talking about camp. At 28, she became one of the youngest YMCA executive directors in the country as she led YMCA Camp Immokalee through doubling the budget, master planning, board restructuring, capital improvements, and more. She loves being a camp director to camp directors through TSCS and will never turn down a game of a Gaga.

Host Jack Schott struggles with bureaucracy, loves fun, and secretly stays up late obsessing over businessy stuff. His unique perspectives come from his varied background. An engineer, Jack took the first few years post-college to travel the country visiting over 200 camps in 47 states. Building on what he saw, he co-founded Stomping Ground, a non-profit sleepaway camp inspiring radical empathy and co-founded The Summer Camp Society. In 2022, Jack trained more than 2000 camp staff at 20+ camps.
