We have established a partnership with McLean Hospital’s School Consultation Service. In preparation for summer camp, they conducted a thorough needs assessment with our camp leaders and inclusion specialists. Using the data gathered they trained nearly 500 staff in-person and by video to better support the mental health of our campers and staff themselves. To ensure the training was integrated into the summer camp experience, the McLean team met with camp teams every week.
