Imagine the worst possible case scenario happening at camp... now add 14 more fires your team has to put out. 

This week's host, Allison, is joined by Jacob's Camp's Carolyn and Anna as they talk camp crisis management. They're not just talking the talk, they walked the walked.

This episode shares about the absurd crisis that Jacobs Camp endured this summer, including but not limited to: power outages, moving "base" twice, and not having enough movies for bus rides. Anna and Carolyn share how they managed to make the most out of their situation with great community members, strong internal communication, and a whole car dedicated to snacks. You will soon find out why one camper in particular clamors about the "epic field-trips" he goes on when he goes to Jacobs Camp. 

If you're looking for a story that will have your gears turning about camp crisis management plans (or just a wildly true story), this is the pod for you. 

Producer EmJ's Takeaways:

1. Breakfast discos can solve a lot of things but not everything
2. Happy staff = happy campers = happy families 
3. There is more and more evidence that supports the sentiment "its not what you know, its who you know".
