Come and join James Williams, Camp Washington’s Summer Camp Programs Director, to discuss the lessons we’ve learned from time at camp with children and youth. We will discuss broad themes, mindset and approaches that shine through from a camp setting, while also dwelling on specific skills such as peer-to-peer formation, programming with autonomy, and empowering your staff as they care for campers!
FACILITATOR: My name is James Williams; I am a cradle-Episcopalian and have been engaged in the whimsical work of camp for 8 years. I grew up attending camp in the Diocese of Virginia, where I experienced a deep sense of belonging and community. At camp we find out together what is possible, do the hard/fulfilling work of growing in Christ’s love, and HAVE FUN! I was born in Denver, CO, raised both there and in rural Virginia. I come from a family of 5 (I’m the youngest….) and after high school earned my bachelor’s degree from Goucher College. I have worked in jobs from legislative advocacy to being a Barista! In my personal life, I am dedicated to climate and social justice, love to rock climb, and travel.
