Fundamentals of Fundraising

Are you the camp director AND fundraiser? The program director AND fundraiser? The swim front director AND fundraiser? We get it, camp professionals wear lots of hats and sometimes fundraising is an afterthought.

Come to this session to learn more about fundraising (we bet you’re already doing it!) and what your plan should look like each year!

Attendees will have access to the recording for 30 days.
