What the week actually is

Starting a camp is mostly logistics: enrolment, ratios, insurance, materials and a plan for the week. The curriculum is the part that takes a year to write and the part you can licence in an afternoon, which is why most new operators start here.

  1. Site setup, staffing ratios and materials
  2. Day-one build and the first failure point
  3. Mid-week diagnosis session
  4. Rebuild and assessment capture
