FALL 2023 SEMINARS
Learn With Us.
Each month this fall, we're offering a 90-minute seminar to help you level up a specific part of camp. With help from CampBrain, we're keeping these seminars at just $29 each (or $99 for all four). Seminars are FREE for TSCS members.
Seminars aren't webinars — they're interactive and give space for you to get the information and ideas you need for YOU and YOUR camp.
To encourage open and honest conversations, seminars are not recorded.
