You know how you've got a lot on your plate and probably have a pretty small team? And how you want camp to be so much better, but you just don't have the time and resources? TSCS fast-tracks the simple things so you can have more conversations about the big and important things.

Doing More Together
A place to have the important conversations
Our community of progressive camp professionals is the perfect place to talk about the things that really matter at camp, to share resources that start with the same values you hold, and so much more.

LEARNING & GROWING EVERY DAY
Meeting options for all camps and camp pros
Go behind-the-scenes with Scott Arizala, talk equity with Simone Gamble, solve problems with fellow camp pros, get advice from other caregivers, deep dive into day camp with Kelly Schuna, and so much more. We have something for every camp and every camp pro.

SAVING YOU TIME
A jumpstart on the things you have to do
You know how there are a lot of things we all have to do? Train staff, welcome staff, plan all-camp games, and more. We have 20+ staff training sessions, a weekend of leadership staff training, an eBook of all-camp games, and more. We work to take the little things off your plate, giving you more time to make bigger impact.
