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

     

Good Leaders Ask Great Questions

Inspired by E.J. Lugo

This is our last 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

 

THE 10th or FINAL SET OF QUESTIONS ARE

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

1) How do you encourage campers to try new things and overcome reluctance. What are you doing this week, that you have not tried previously? What did you learn this summer that you are now doing as a life practice?

2) As you approach the end of our time together, what’s one thing you learned that you felt supported you the most from the staff training/orientation week?

3) Have any of your goals changed since the beginning of summer? What is a lasting memory (from the summer) that brings you joy?

 

I hope you have enjoyed these questions and will consider coming back for my next series on interview questions.
