Things to consider… New statistics from Christian Camp & Conference Association: • 40% of baby boomers, born 1946-1964, went to camp as kids. • 20% of gen-X-ers, born 1965-1980, went to camp as kids. • ( And…the primary reason kids go to camp is because their parents went…) CCCA: Getting kids to camp the next 5-7 years will be tougher than it’s ever been…ever. • No context to understand positive values camp brings • No context to understand the message we bring when we talk camp • We have to find new ways to reach them.
CCCA’s recommendation… Find new ways for kids and parents to sample our programs. • Their suggestions: • Day Camp • Ropes/challenge course • School programs • Rental groups • After school programs • Getting groups of kids and parents out to “sample” camp and reduced or no charge • Which of these are we already doing?
CCCA’s recommendation… • Getting school kids out to camp, then sending them home to tell their parents about it and get them excited, is the new brochure.The kids become the carriers directly back to their parent’s hands. • How are you, as delegates, the NEW BROCHURE?
Planning & Development Comm. • Areas of Focus • Master Development Plan • Equipping the Delegates • Materials • Training • Multimedia based marketing efforts targeted at • Member Congregations • Recruiting • Summer Camp (YouTube Video) • Endowments
