All the Basics February 19, 2001
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Basic Camp Management covers all the basics one needs to know about the summer camp industry, plus new sections that include retreat/conference centers. It is a great resource for both the new and vetern camp director. Any one thinking about going into the camping industry should read this book. It covers everything from finances to programming. The book basically reads like a text book with review questions at the end of each chapter. I would reccomend this book as the most comprehensive resource for the summer camp industry to date. It would also be useful in a recreational sciences course.
A Very Thorough Approach to Management February 16, 2001
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is extremely comprehensive and thorough. It walks you through all the aspects of camp management. All the functions that are involved in running a camp are explored. Basic camp management gives enough information for an individual to create their own programs, with the necessary information about development according to age. In addition, the book incorporates many sample forms into the chapters, for example, a health history form. There are also myriad samples provided- such as a sample job descriptions and risk management checklists for camp personnel. There are resources provided for the reader, including organizations and the ACA Code of Ethics. Basic Camp Management is well thought out. It is simple to read and simple to read and serves as an excellent resource for individuals interested in Camp Administration. I found the bulleted lists and checkpoint questions very helpful. This is a great introduction or reference for someone who wants information on hand.
