High Level Plan

Before we start

  • Create a plan
  • Establish leadership (part of the plan creation)
  • Reach out to ex campers:
    • Some will want to come back regardless (hardcore fans)
    • Some may need convincing and will only come back if things improve (see comment)
    • Some have already abandoned to other camps or events (for example Africa Burn)
    • Some just won't go in 2024, regardless of anything


Note: It is always a good idea to make joining the camp irresistible, and I believe this is something every camp should be doing (and some of them are doing a great job with this).
