Affinity & Special Interest Groups

This group is specifically for up-and coming camp professionals seeking job growth.  EPICS enjoy meeting and learning from each other through social, educational and philanthropic gatherings.

This group is intended for those camp professionals who have had ultimate operational authority at their camp for five years or more and are looking to network and socialize with fellow camp directors in similar roles.

Gather with other 2SLGBTQIA+ camp professionals in the camp community. This group is dedicated to meaningful networking and connection, building joy, and celebrating identity.

Gather with fellow Camp Administrators to discuss topics specific to their role in the day camp setting.

This group is for camps that serve campers with additional needs, including but not limited to campers with disabilities or diagnoses, and inclusion programs.

The purpose of this affinity group is to cultivate black and brown leaders in the outdoor education/camping field and serve as a space for black and brown camp professionals to meet and share experiences

Gather with other women in the camp community dedicated to professional development, meaningful networking and female empowerment.

These roundtable discussions are a great way for directors to share ideas and problem solve with peers about challenges and hot topics in camping.

We offer more than nine special interest group meetings at the Tri-State CAMP Conference where you can form meaningful connections to others who share a common thread. From special needs camping to access/disability camping to 2SLGBTQIA+ Camping groups to more, Tri-State is a great space for connecting with others.
