Summer Staff Questions - Good Leaders Ask Great Questions Series (7 of 10)

    



Inspired by E.J. Lugo

This is our 7th week this summer, I'll be posting several questions that you should consider asking our staff team at Summer Camp.

These questions can help camp directors and supervisors assess the engagement levels of their staff, providing insights that can be used to enhance the overall camp experience for both staff and campers.

BACKGROUND: I spent several months in research and consultation with human resource professionals as well as the most common questions that monitor team engagement, establish connection with team, and help improve team engagement with your campers. They can lead to thoughtful conversations about summer goals and aspirations, setting priorities, and developing new ideas as well as skill enhancement.

Remember, all questions are like Ogres. Okay, if you don't get the reference, but here is the video link. Questions or layered and you can dig deep or go in a deep dive in a discussion.






The questions are organized into three categories. Chose to use one or all three. Just make sure that your team members know that they are going to be asked.

1) Camper Engagement Questions - designed to make sure that your team member is engaging with their campers.

2) Personal Development Question - designed to "check in" and connect with a team member.

3) Overall Check In Question

 

7th IN THE SERIES OF 10 QUESTIONS ARE

Engaging summer camp staff is crucial for a successful camp experience. Here is the seventh set or 7 of 10 questions designed to determine the engagement levels of summer camp staff:

1) Who is most likely to reach out when someone is withdrawing? (When something is not right for a camper, who - other camper - is most likely…)

2) What would you like to see different with the staff arrangement (leadership, training, etc.)? Who on the staff has been most helpful for you?

3) Do you feel your work is recognized and appreciated? How so? (Feeling valued and appreciated is a key factor in employee engagement.)

 

Have another great week and check back for the 8th set of questions.
