I am thrilled to announce the launch of my own consulting firm, Innovative Camp Company, and with it the Innovative Camp Company Blog.
What is Innovative Camp Company? My services will advance youth-serving organizations through innovative solutions; solve problems with a focus on mission, impact, and quality; and source the unique products needed to promote health and safety. Services are robust and include measuring program outcomes, increasing accessibility and access, serving as a thought partner, leading staff training, developing programs, procuring medical supplies, and more!Why did I start Innovative Camp Company? I have seen how quality youth programs have shaped my kids into who they are today (and I’m a pretty proud mom!). For Jayden, 4H has changed his life and turned him into an entrepreneur who has not only learned a ton about raising animals, but also about finance, ROI, inventory, communication, teamwork, and so much more. Many of you know Jax’s band, Trees Don’t Move (and if not, get to streaming!). Jax and his friend Christian founded the band in middle school and they have grown into legit writers and recording artists who are planning a tour for next summer. They have booked major gigs like music festivals. And his introduction to music was at camp. That rocks! As I reflect on my own experiences, I am grateful to have worked at some of the best camp programs in the country for around three decades. I have met the most incredible campers, awe-inspiring adults, and seen countless programs! My volunteer work with the American Camp Association has been the honor of a lifetime. I have made lifelong friends who challenge me to be better. All these experiences have made me so passionate about outcome measures and impact, increasing access to out-of-school time learning, capacity building, and cross-department collaboration. As the Innovative Camp Company CEO, I get to drive this work forward every day. I have the privilege of supporting organizations with life-changing missions. And I get to work alongside some of the smartest people I know! Truly the honor of a lifetime. Thank you for being in this space with me. And thank you again for your support and love. With deep gratitude, Sterling
