This year, COCA is hosting virtual quarterly meetings for executive camp staff. The camp executive deals with a variety of challenges and opportunities to ensure a safe, well run and well-funded camp, managing top donors and working with Board of Director members.  From our seat in our organizations, there are a myriad of issues to deal with, and as a COCA camp executive, you are not alone! Join us for this interactive open conversation, to learn from each other and share new perspectives on challenges and opportunities that we have faced or expect to be facing and share successful approaches.

The April session will be facilitated by Executive Directors, Melissa McNichol, Rapahope, AL and Erin Ulmer, Camp Rise Above SC. Plan to bring your questions, situations and ideas to this open forum discussion.

To plan ahead, the second session will be held in September and the third will be held in Spokane, WA at COCAcon. Please make plans to attend. The last one for the year, will be a COCAcon follow up in December. Looking to 2025, we will plan these quarterly forums in February, May, September, and November at COCAcon.
