EPIC Summer Send-Off
2026-05-05 16:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual via Zoom
Send yourself into summer feeling supported, energized, and ready to dive into the season! Join us for a free virtual “Summer Send-Off” designed especially for our EPIC community. From 4:00–5:30 PM ET, we’ll gather for a relaxed, interactive session where you can bring a real challenge, question, or workplace grievance and workshop it with peers who truly get it.
Through guided small-group conversations and collaborative problem-solving, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, practical ideas, and a renewed sense of confidence heading into the busy camp season. Whether you’re navigating staff dynamics, program planning, or just looking for a sounding board, this is your space to connect, reflect, and grow.
And of course—what’s Cinco de Mayo without a little fun? Feel free to bring your favorite festive drink (margarita optional, good vibes guaranteed) as we toast to the summer ahead and the incredible community we’re building together.
Come for the support, stay for the connection, and leave ready to thrive. 🌟
