• Camp GPS 2023/2024 Registration

  • Camp GPS is JCamp 180’s cohort-based strategic planning initiative. The program is available for overnight and day camps. Camps will assemble GPS Teams to participate in a high energy, short duration, hybrid planning process to determine their camp’s strategic priorities and set the organization’s course for the next 1-3 years.

    The next cohort begins in November 2023. You can find out more about the program on our website.

    Important note:

    If your camp lacks a shared vision for the future, or is anticipating a major transition, crisis, or business opportunity in the near future that may fundamentally alter your organization’s plans, Camp GPS is NOT the recommended approach to determining your strategic goals for the next 1 to 3 years. Instead, please consult with JCamp 180 Relationship Manager to discuss alternative options that best address the needs for your camp.
