By now you should have... (If not, start now!)
- Assigned a staff member to Google “popular kid movies" summer 2021.
- Talked to staff with kids that are "camp-age". What do they like?
- Looked at past enrollment numbers (obviously not summer 2020)… which ones were hits and why?
- Created an easy-to-follow schedule of events to make it super easy for your teachers to follow.
- Organize early and advertise early.
- Create an all-encompassing paper and digital brochure for handing out at your gym and social media marketing.
- Offer a deal - enroll in two get one half off. Advertise it ALL OVER your gym and any outdoor events.
- If you have openings two days before camp, call participants from the last camp that did not enroll and invite them to this one.
- At every camp, make sure to hand out a flier to the next camp. List the theme and all the fun things campers will be doing.
