Best Practice for Leadership Training

From Gabz

Running a camp can be challenging, especially when essential supplies like sharpies, tape, and garbage bags seem to vanish. Over the years, I've discovered a simple yet effective strategy: stockpile these items discreetly.

Every summer, I buy double the sharpies and tape we need and stash them away in my bedroom— a place where no one goes. When staff members are in a pinch, I can easily provide them with what they need, creating a small but meaningful moment of relief.

While we do have garbage bags, they often require negotiating with the kitchen staff, and they run out quickly. By keeping a stash of these essentials, I ensure that my team feels supported. This little gesture not only helps in the moment but also builds goodwill among the staff.

So, if you're looking for a way to boost morale and keep your camp running smoothly, consider having a secret stash of essential supplies.
