"Chris has been providing in-person staff training workshops at Camp Laney for 10 years. This year, I was excited to jump-start his in-person training with Leadership Essentials. I know that the strategic addition of Chris's online video training modules will allow our leadership team (and Chris himself) to teach my staff more advanced skills during staff training week. So far, the video training modules are also getting all my staff--especially my first-year counselors--psyched for camp."
