We changed Write for Camp (here's why)

, 2 min read

Every group is different.

Some camp pros show up struggling with the blank page.

Others have drafts they’ve never sent.

Some need approval from a board or co-director.

Others are wrestling with their email platform.

Some want to repurpose their newsletters for social media, their website, staff training materials.

Honestly, that’s why Write for Camp #2 looks different than what we planned for #1.

For real, this one might even change a little bit during the cohort itself.

That’s what happens when camp pros are all bringing what they actually need to the table.

What’s Different This Time

After running Write for Camp #1, we learned a ton.

The structure worked. The accountability worked. The community worked.

But camp pros needed more flexibility in how they use their newsletters once they’re written.

So we added:

AI prompts tailored for camp newsletter writing

Systems for repurposing one newsletter into multiple formats

Support for different approval processes (boards, partners, teams)

Platform-specific help (Kit, Mailchimp, Beehiiv, CampMinder, whatever you’re using)

Not some rigid formula. Nah, this is building a system to fit your camp.

6-Week Write for Camp Schedule

Week 1 → 5 Things You Love About (Your) Camp

Lead with the rest stuff + one clear invite.

Week 3 → Micro-Moments to Newsletter

One small story, one lesson, one invite. These are game-changers.

Week 4→ Read Like a Writer, Write Like a Reader

Edit for busy parents and how people actually read on devices these days. Subject lines get opened serve, preview text that does work, skimmer-friendly structure, spacing, and flow.

Week 5 → Borrowing Authority

Week 6 → Make Newsletters Work Everywhere

One strong newsletter = social posts + blog updates + website copy + promotional material + staff training prompts.
