Entry Background/Description: Camp Heart Connection like to recognize all of our volunteers, but especially those who go above and beyond or hold leadership roles within our camping programs. This year we did special shout-out posts on our social media to recognize the selected Director's Team leading up to each camping session. This not only helps show appreciation and recognition to those who are putting in so much valued time and effort but also helps in comforting worried families as they recognize a few familiar faces at camper drop off. We love showing appreciation to all volunteers!
Why You Should Vote for Me: This is one of the many changes that Camp Heart Connection has implemented in their volunteer retention and appreciation process. Through post-camp surveys we have gotten amazing feedback that this not only helps families recognize staff when arriving to camp, but also makes our volunteers feel valued, listened to, appreciated, and wanting to come back year after year!
