  • Camp and Summer Jobs in the Workplace
    • Participants can talk about how camp or a summer job can be used in interviews and work outside of camp world. Can include interview tips, how to tie in camp experiences with future work, etc. Could potentially set up mock interviews in specialized areas and potential questions people may be asked and how to come prepared with solid foundation answers.
  • Camp Throughout the Year
    • Participants will split up into small groups to talk about what staying connected to camp throughout the school year may look for them. Can come up with different options as a small group to bring to a larger group with ways to stay connected. Examples: organizing camp Shabbats on campus, planning to hang out with current and past staff in the area.
