Let’s shed light on some of the most prominent camp research, right from the researchers themselves!
Our guests, Victoria Povilaitis, Lori Brown, and Jake Sorenson, are not your typical academics. They are the frontline champions of camp research, dedicated to unveiling the intricate ways camps contribute to community building, character building and emotional growth. From the playful yet practical enhancements at Tim Hortons Foundation Camps to the community-driven research of the American Camp Association and the spiritual connections at Christian summer camps through Sacred Playgrounds, each guest brings a wealth of knowledge and a shared passion for nurturing the next generation.
