With great power comes…well, you know the rest.
We all know that even in the sunshine and butterflies that is summer camp, there is evil lurking about. An evil that affects people and communities from all over. It has a name, too.
Are you ready?
Power.
Okay, maybe a bit dramatic, but it’s something nonetheless that we need to talk about when it comes to the microcosm that is summer camp.
On this episode, Mandi and Travis discuss how the power structures of the summer camp world have consequential effects on not just the employees, but the entire culture and program.
You’ll hear about:
- How power is an ever-present entity, how everyone has it (to an extent) and how dynamic it can be
- The risk of harm that can be inherent in the systems that even the most well-intentioned camp leaders can create
- How the different spaces, and the unspoken rules of those spaces create a power-filled environment
- How camp directors can be aware of these systems of power and consider the good, the bad and the ugly in them
