It is now officially half way through the summer of 2009. The August Long Weekend is here and we are getting ready for the last three weeks at camp.
Some thoughts occurred to me this morning: Can summer camp keep being summer camp? What changes will come in the next 20 years of camp? Is there another industry that has not evolved like ours?
Summer camp as an industry is much like it was 100 years ago – a place for kids to spend so time in the summer away from the city. What would a camp look like today if it started fresh and wasn’t called a camp? What movement is going on right now that will be here in 100 years and be the same thing? What business today did the exact same thing 100 years ago?
Just some thoughts.
