Top 10 Reasons to Stay at #TSCamp2020 Through Thurs., March 12th
We get it… it is hard to be away from the office for a number of days at a time and by the end of the conference, you feel like it’s time to get back home. BUT, by skipping out of Tri-State early, you are missing some of the best parts of the LARGEST summer camp conference in the world. Here are just ten reasons to stay in Atlantic City through the end of the conference.
1. Carli Lloyd Keynote Address – We scored with a closing Keynote from Carli Lloyd, American professional soccer player for the U.S Women’s National Soccer Team and two-Time Olympic Gold Medalist. You’re going to want to take a cleat and sit back while listening to Carli’s inspiring journey to reach her goals.
2. General Session Raffle – Gift cards, free Tri-State Registration and a free hotel stay, OH MY! Follow the red and brown carpet down to Hall A on Thursday for a chance to win fabulous prizes!
3. Exhibit Hall Fire sale – Some of the best deals in the Exhibit Hall happen in the last hours! Walk away with inflatables, games, arts & crafts supplies, and more at a fraction of the price as exhibitors make last minute deals before packing up!
4. Sessions from new speakers - (Christine Moloney, Luis Rivero, Cheryl Goldstein, Bobby Audley, Natalie Silverstein, Christopher Quinn, Daniel Shore, etc.) – Be the first to discover the new greats of Tri-State by hearing some new voices and perspectives from our future Tri-State stars.
5. More from your favorites - (Michael Brandwein, Deborah Gilboa, Chris Thurber, Scott Arizala, Jed & Roz Buck, Jack Schott & Laura Kriegel, Sylvia van Meerten, Adam Baranker, Lonnie Sarnell, etc.) – Our beloved Tri-State super-stars and some of our most popular speakers are scheduled towards the end of the conference!
6. Hot topic sessions such as “My Door is Always Open: Best Practices for First-Time Supervisors”, “Medication Management: Considerations around CBD Oil and Mental Health Medications”, “The Magic of Full-Camp Programming and Traditions: Crowdsourced Ideas to Put into Action!”, “What Burning Man Can Teach You About Camp”, “Realizing and Addressing Toxic Masculinity at Camp”, “Black Men in Camping Panel Discussion”, etc. – Can your camp afford to miss these sessions? Some of your greatest learning moments might just happen during these sessions.
7. Connect with professionals as dedicated as you - Staying until the end of the conference allows you to connect with even MORE dedicated camp professionals. Grab a coffee, chat in between sessions, and soak up all the learning you can as you lead up to summer 2020.
8. Enjoy Wednesday evening hangout time with camp pros – One of the best networking evenings of the conference is Wednesday night. Grab a beverage at the Shoe Bar from 5-6 PM and see the magical workings of master illusionist, Eric Wilzig of The Extreme Magic of Eric Wilzig, followed by Mainstages’ Improv and Games Act. Relax, network, be mesmerized, and laugh ‘til your belly hurts on the last night of Tri-State!
9. Photo slideshow – One of the most fun parts of Thursday’s general session is viewing the photo slideshow of all the camps attending Tri-State. From beautiful lake shots to camp spirit at its best, take the time to enjoy the diversity of camp programs represented at Tri-State—and don’t forget to cheer loudly as your camp photo comes up!
10. Get the most bang for your buck – You’ve paid for the whole conference--don’t cut your learning short. Get the most out of your time at Tri-State and stay through the end!
