Training Series (Virtual) - 2026

30-Minute Virtual Booster Strategy Sessions - $25 per person, per session - July 14, 21, 28 - 8pm Eastern

By mid-July, the excitement of summer is in full swing AND so are the challenges. Routines get stale, energy dips, and even the most prepared staff can benefit from fresh ideas and practical solutions. That's why our Summer Booster Series is designed to arrive at just the right time.

These booster sessions give recreation professionals, camp staff, and inclusion champions quick, actionable tools to refresh their approach, tackle common summer challenges, and finish the season strong. Join us live from anywhere, ask questions, and leave with downloadable resources you can put to use immediately.

Registration includes access to the live session(s) plus digital resources and printable tools to download and use throughout the rest of the summer (and year!).
