What is Beyond Camp?
Beyond Camp is a new summer Podcast brought to you by Go Camp Pro.
Cassie Bloy and Rachel Kent are here to explore the intersection of camp and our lives. As much as people like to talk about camp and ‘the real world’ as two separate entities, camp professionals know that this simply isn’t true. Beyond Camp dives into how different aspects of our lives affect our camp experience, effectively bursting the camp bubble and welcoming all parts of our lives into the conversation.
Go Camp Pro is excited to bring you this weekly podcast during the summer of 2020.
