Good morning from Penn State...unable to camera today unfortunately
Nicole LaRocque
CU Boulder -my team found this article helpful https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/its-pandemic-work-from-home-brad-judy/
Chris Schmoldt
Chris from WVU. Still doing weekly one on one with each staff member. Also doing a staff check in/coffee hour every other day. Some staff are seeking more, others are happy with this.
Nicole LaRocque
More check-ins and personal "how are you", "what do you need" check-ins.
Blair Schuyler
KU is big with skype for business, that's how we communicate most of the time and that's still active for us chat-wise
Kathryn Dunn
We are reminding our newer coordinators on a daily basis that Furlough is not on the table right now and we will continue to work hard to prove our value
Blair Schuyler
so we do daily chats and such to help navigate
Brittani Lee
Is anyone having communications about students working more than 28 hours/week once our rec centers open back up due to staffing issues?
Louis Morphew
At MSU Denver, I am using it as an opportunity to reconnect with former fitness staff who are going to serve as a panel to talk to my current employees about opportunities in fitness.
Jonathan Johnston
We have asked that questions to be brought up with the division and HR.
Bob Gough
Bob @ W&M: We as Assoc. Dir. don't always have the most current, or behind the scenes info. That is difficult to help staff manage expectations.
Ryan McNicholas
I feel that since our Exec Director is pulled in so many directions, the day to say fall on myself. Anybody else feeling the same way, how are you managing the areas you are not too familiar with?
caryn collopy
At San Jose State I introduced the idea to the managers about thinking ahead and to begin to plan out the “layering” of what it will take to open our facility again. I asked them to think about each task and put a timeline to the task. It was received well and I could hear the positive about the idea.
Kathryn Dunn
Hey Ryan, I'm in the same boat. I've been very transparent and said: this area is not my strength. WHat can I do to better support you? What are you confused about? Help me help you.
Garry Armstrong
Garry- Oklahoma. Our campus announced Thurd
Bob Golson
At James Madison, the Leadership Team has increased the frequency of our meetings to share almost daily updates/changes. We have also added using Microsoft Teams to communicate more.
Chris Schmoldt
AT WVU myself and our director are struggling to balance our home/childcare, so we are not communicating as frequently as we normally would. I think our staff is feeling disconnected because myself and the Director are not available
Greg Corack
Luckily I married a teacher!
Bob Gough
Bob@W&M our campus started messaging the idea to change the goal from "Balance" to "Harmony." In any given moment, something is always more important than something else. Attend to the thing that is important, b/c that is true and right in the moment. Attend to the other things when it is right and true to do it. We need to model that for our department and give ourselves permission to be ok with it!
Chris Muller
Great message Bob!
Samantha Lowry
At Kennesaw State we were given notice this week that academic courses will remain vital for the remainder of spring and all of summer semester. There is a request process to have special permission to host on campus programs/events. But our facilities will stay closed through the summer semester.
Jeffrey Schmitt
At West Florida we have cancelled all summer programs and will have online through the summer. Current plan is to have staff return to campus on May 8th subject to change. Have cancelled all events in our facilities until May 30 also subject to change.
Nicolas Prante
Washington State University - Does anybody believe their university might allow their rec centers and facilities open before they return to in person classes?
Kacy Toberg
All University System of Georgia schools were notified that all May and Summer Semester classes would move online and no in person classes until the Fall. Our facilities are closed. They are tentativly planning to move back to normal on campus operations in the Fall based on the CDC and Public Health department advise.
Natalie O'Farrell
At UAz I feel that we will be the first to open
Jason Darby
Southern Miss - We originally were told April 30th. Now hearing towards the end of May. Game plan as of the moment was to open by summer but very fluid with the situation.
Natalie O'Farrell
Concerning summer camps, is anyone doing anything from an online perspective to engage those kids that may have attended camps?
Garry Armstrong
Garry from Oklahoma. Campus closed until July 31 and classes online as well. We believe we will not open until Aug. 1 at the earliest.
Mary Ellen Milam
At TCU we currently are working from home until April 30 but expect that to change. Summer classes are all online. We are planning to open sometime in May. Maybe around the 15th
Vicki Highstreet
I've started calling it "physical distancing" cause I need the social part!
Brian Coriaty
Absolutely, Vicki!
Bob Golson
At James Madison, summer classes all online, campus closed until May 15, but Governor has closed until June 10, we expect decision this week to close university longer.
Kathy Obuszewski
CWRU- we hope to open when allowed despite if we have remote classes since it’s not just students who use the facilities. But a lot of uncertainty as to when especially when we are closed in part by Ohio public health order.
Brian Coriaty
At CSULB campus has no events through June, so our first session camps are cancelled. Staying tuned for July.
Louis Morphew
Hi, Louie at MSU Denver, those of you who are looking to reopen this summer, is your department looking at budget cuts?
Sadat Khan
For those that receive student fees for operating budgets, has anyone heard yet what your campus response will be for moving to purely online summer classes (and then likely not collecting student fees)? What type of financial support will you receive?
Bob Gough
W&M, in Virginia, announced yesterday that summer school will be online at least through July 3. If allowed, we may bring students back to campus on July 6 for summer session 2.
Jaymie Cox-Garcia
[Olympic College] - same here in Washington. The governor just extended our stay home mandate until May 4th and he specifically named Recreational facilities.
Steven Leitch
Tulane - Share the concern with staffing if facility is asked to open while summer classes are online. We are not a regional school most of our student come from out of state and have been asked to leave campus.
Katie Burns
At USU - we were still in the office even after our programs were shut down and we have been expanding our maintenance week for the last 3 weeks
Erin Wells
UT Austin will look at a slow roll of all our facilities, so all staff will focus on one building at a time
Mike Rac
@Kyle LeDuc - beard nod
Jordan Olson
Western Michigan University - How many people are exploring creating online learning modules for training and onboarding students coming back from this closure?
Bob Golson
At JMU, hiring, training and having staff ready to reopen is also an issue. Plus all the paperwork and the I9's that have to be seen in person.
Jason Thornton
Winthrop University - Having staff able to work is one of our major concerns too. We were told by upper admin that we aren't allowed to recruit or hire new employees until further notice as well. We would like to open when safe, but having employees on campus to work is a huge hurdle.
Katie Burns
We are utilizing Canvas to start training our staff
Colin Allison
Santa Clara U- Will look to stagger the opening of our facilities. Our outdoor facilities will open right when we get the order. Will probably take one - two weeks to get staffing, training, etc. in place then reopen our main building.
Matthew Gordon
At Harvard, we have a combo of students and non students. Our Service Coordinator, is constantly in touch with staff to determine their availability, and he has a skeleton schedule built for the planned return (May 4 in Mass currently).
Nicolas Prante
WSU - we are looking at options for cross training current UREC student staff for various positions. We are in a hiring freeze, including student staff. Hoping to utilize those fitness instructors, IM officials, etc. in building positions if programming is still cancelled.
Greg Corack
At ECU we've moved to Canvas as well for almost everything but CPR
John Wondra
Kansas State University- We have a hiring freeze in place for students that will need to be lifted before we can hire more student staff
Jason Werle
Student staffing definitely a concern, but also making sure that all patrons are comfortable coming back to a facility so thinking about what a full disinfect of all rooms and equipment looks like to give them peace of mind, and who's going to do it, university, us, outsourced, etc.
Nicole LaRocque
CU Boulder Rec just decided to cancel a renovation project that had just began staging. It was a Rec leadership decision, not mandated. Tough decisions. Optics, politics, etc.. a lot to consider.
Kathryn Dunn
Is anyone hiring outside cleaning companies? Or sticking with in house custodial? Or having student/pro staff handle?
Greg Corack
We lost all Housekeeping and Grounds services from the University on Monday. We will have to consider getting those staff on board at least two weeks prior to reopening.
Victoria Roberts
Another neat option for virtual interviews is Spark Hire. They utilize one-way video interviews that individuals can do on their own time then you can get together with a committee (or have the links shared directly to them) to review the video interviews at a later date.
Ryan McNicholas
We are looking at servpro to come and sanitize
Kyle LeDuc
Kathryn, we are continuing with our in-house custodial team. We are actually working towards sharing housekeeping and maintenance across all of student affairs
Jeff Heiser
This is somewhat basic, but I am wondering how you all streamline communication between campus, your Directors/Executive Directors and then the units/staff you support? With everyone working remotely, there is a lot more email and items may get lost or contradicted. How have you all managed this, if it has been an issue?
Marissa Canter
Kathryn-In the Risk Management Session the other day many Universities were discussing that topic. Many were going with outside companies. It might be worth looking through the chat or video from that session.
Michael Montgomery
CWU - We are continuing with house staff.
Christine Scollay
Syracuse: We have a tentative date of residential classes resuming for 2nd summer semester. Developing contingency plans for a wide variety of scenarios: social distancing or not; having student staff or not; cleaning, etc.
Nicolas Prante
WSU - for the budgeting concern, we are looking at options to limit the immediate impact, such as delaying new equipment purchases, pushing back a pool filter replacement 2-3 years, etc
Jeff Heiser
We are doing our own videos and live workouts and expect that this may be part of our offerings in the future.
Mike Rac
We run youth programs year round (preschool, swim lessons, youth leagues, etc., and were shutdown by Gov right in the middle of those sessions. At this time we are just in a postponement status until further notice. Anyone in the same boat?
Kathryn Dunn
We paused Private Lessons and PT Sessions, but refunded Group Lessons as our second session hadn't started
Jeffrey Schmitt
One question we have been trying to think through is how will our operation will change once we are open. Do we need to have additional student staff cleaning throughout the fitness center to maintain a level of cleanliness through out the day.
Bob Golson
At JMU, we have in-house cleaning and maintenance crews. We have staggered shifts, developed project lists that would have been huge disruption to operations to keep them focused on re-opening.
Natalie O'Farrell
Yes, all of out youth programming is on hold
Nicolas Prante
Mike, WSU has very limited youth programs, but we are giving our swim lesson participants the option to wait and reenroll in the future or get a refund
Nicole LaRocque

todd Bauch
It is kind of like academic “persistence”. If they are still active but they have gone somewhere else, they are healthy and we have done our job.
Kyle LeDuc
VT Rec Sports Virtual Offerings: https://recsports.vt.edu/virtual.html
Erin Wells
Yep, there is another Risk Management conversation on April 13th
Samantha Lowry
We are also figuring out how we can maintain a higher level of clean during our reopen/return to regular programming. We are also planning to see what virtual programs we can continue to offer to continue to serv
Samantha Lowry
Serve
Jason Thornton
Winthrop Uni. - In response to Vicki's statement, our president ordered us to take down all nets on outdoor spaces. This week our soccer nets and volleyball nets were taken down in our outdoor IM spaces. This was in response to people using those spaces in large groups.
Natalie O'Farrell
For online videos has anyone participants to fill out or click through an AOR? If so, how did you do that?
Bob Golson
At JMU, just last night there was an incident with theft and attempt to get into the building. It is important to maintain presence in building to insure security during the times when people are out of work and desperate.
Ryan McNicholas
YSU Virtual Recreation offerings: www.ysu.edu/virtual-recreation
Blair Schuyler
Our maintenance team with outside facilities is actually not mowing in hopes to grow it high enough that people wont want to play on it. A way to help with social distancing. Its working for us
Blair Schuyler
Blair from KU
Greg Corack
At ECU: We have a rotating staff member checking all facilities (Rec/Student Centers) each day. Outdoor facilities are no longer maintained and somewhat locked, but we are not monitoring participation.
Kathryn Dunn
Could we set up a Private School Round Table? We are finding a lot of things in these discussions are great for big state schools (like the cleaning options in the Risk Management Round Table) that are not options for us.
Michelle Mirpuri
Tulane Virtual Programs: https://campusrecreation.tulane.edu/fitness-programs/virtual-fitness https://campusrecreation.tulane.edu/outdoor-adventures
Mike Rac
We usually do a deep clean and needed repairs over spring break. since we were shut down prior we completed it early. Currently we have Physical Therapy Clinic running out of our bulding so we can rotate some staff to do facility checks.
Jeff Heiser
Our landing page on our website is dedicated to all online content across the department: https://campusrecreation.ucdavis.edu/

Bob Gough
I'd like to get every ones ideas for a Reopening Checklist.
Matthew Gordon
Is anyone looking to push their virtual personal training program harder to generate revenue?
Jaymie Cox-Garcia
What are some interesting professional development opportunities you have seen? I'm trying to find something to mix up my offerings for my staff.
todd Bauch
Portland State is sitting down to start that list next week
Kacy Toberg
definitely keep these going this is good information
Jonathan Johnston
Same question for professional development. What does that look like for our staff now?
Kacy Toberg
where can you view the recoreded webinars?
Emily Davidson
https://nirsa.net/nirsa/connect/ideas-in-motion/
Jeff Heiser
https://www.coursera.org/ has access to a variety of development opportunities and many are free.
Kacy Toberg
Thanks Emily Davidson
Louis Morphew
Louie at MSU Denver, I am looking at ACE, Exercise Etc, Barre Above, Schwinn indoor cycling for my fitness staff.
Greg Corack
For Adventure specifically we are purchased an online module for Behavioral First Responder Certification. We've had a few mental health incidents on trips in the past year. https://www.alpengloweducation.com/bfr
Chris Muller
LinkedIn Learning
Emily Davidson
There is an option for upcoming roundtables and for recorded roundtables there
Jeff Heiser
NASPA offered a lot of their annual conference online, will NIRSA do the same?
Chris Muller
Your institutions HR department probably has online offerings as well.
Bob Gough
In the Director webinar this week, they talked about schools incentivizing staff taking early retirement as a cost saving measure. It's a "what if" but would impact this group if the director decides to leave in the coming months.
Robbie Bell
here’s the link https://www.businessinsider.com/coursera-yale-science-of-wellbeing-free-course-review-overview?fbclid=IwAR1C_qAjJ8ddcZs0BX_fdhij08WbTFzU7fcH_y0rUBpCeAerV4FeB9ggx6o

NIRSA Smartboard
Yes - more coming soon!
Teresa Clements - Chico State
NIRSA has been incredible through all this! Thank you
Samantha Lowry
Thank you everyone, I have to jump into another meeting.
Vicki Highstreet
We're starting Book Clubs, Discussion around works such as Sinek, Brown, TEDtalks etc. which folks can listen to and not feel like they have to read an entire book (or purchase a book). These are being offered across Student Affairs. Trying to encourage engagement across campus.
Jaymie Cox-Garcia
@Chris Muller - we use Safe College's for HR training and that's what my staff as been using. But looking for some other interesting offerings
Jeff Heiser
These roundtables have been great. For smaller group discussions, Zoom Rooms has been great to break-up a large department meeting into discussion groups then reconvene for reports at the end.
Jonathan Johnston
Possible chance of IM and Club Sport Institute being delivered virtually, still having conversations about it all.
Nicole LaRocque
Thank you so much Victoria! Thank you all! Have a fab weekend and hang in there.
Ryan McNicholas

Thanks all this was helpful. I am trying for the beard game but struggling to look like these beard strong guys.
Vicki Highstreet
A few more weeks and we'll see what color everyone's hair is! LOL!
Natalie O'Farrell
Thank you!
Jeff Heiser
Thank you all, thank you NIRSA for organizing these. I am interested in helping in the future.
Jeff Heiser
At UC Davis in California, we are still able to hire however background checks are not being processed, either in person or from our online vendor. Even if we open up campus in late May/June, we are concerned about getting staff background checks processed in time.
Christopher Ballard
We can't get background checks done because we provide them on campus which is closed. We are conducting interviews but can't hire anyone currently even though we plan to open as normal. and we can't hold trainings until people are hired, so there are a lot of things in the way of starting on time.
Andrew Hoffer
I am conducting Zoom Group interviews, one with a group of previous staff, and another with new employees. Also planning on creating a zoom meet and greet with hires because we will be offer to offer jobs to students.
DeVanee Lasley
UMSL is currently conducting interviews via zoom. We have a lot of students who want to return from last year. We have been keeping all applicants updated as the dates have changed for camp.
Venessa Fiedler
Reach out to departments who may be looking for new practicum/internship opportunities for their staff as traditional sites may not be operating
Domonique Sak
we were in the middle of interviews when we were told to transition remotely. zoom interviews now, being transparent about the plans in motion. also being clear about the time commitment, dates of training, end date no matter what
Kathryn Hutchings
Although students cannot work at this time, we are still planning on hiring. We are interviewing with potential camp staff via zoom meetings with pro staff.
Andrew Hoffer
<3 virtualized I9
Jeff Heiser
Staff training is all online.
Nora Osei
Princeton has completed conducting counselor interviews, but we shared with the applicants that there is a chance that camp may be cancelled due to COVID19. As now, we are proceeding as normal until told differently.
Crystal Durham
how are you working on building camaraderie with your staff when it's virtual?
Natalie Hiller-claridge
I was on an ACA forum before this. The lawyer says to tell the potential employe they are an “At Will Employee”
Janice DeMonsi
Depends when camp starts.....if it is right before that we open then all but CPR will be virtual
Dana Lopez
our job posting was pulled until we can hire......we had 19 people apply 🤦♀️
Ashley Marsh
I’d be interested in the camaraderie piece too
Jean Holt
was anyone on the ACA call yesterday - Rachel Satinsky (Employment Law attorney) recommended adding in "at-will" language and not promising anything or person may be eligible for unemployment.
Steve Nevarez-Soto
Depending on enrollment if we only hire returners in person training may not be needed, just online refreshers.
Tim Huchton
ACA has a great library of online training options that you can customize for yoru needs.
https://www.acacamps.org/resource-library/professional-development/create-your-own-online-staff-training-packages
Richelle Williams
We are going to play on a three day in person training unless we are told otherwise
Corrine Pruett
The American Red Cross is offering a 90 day extension course for individuals with a current CPRO or Lifeguard certification. (Linked above)
Venessa Fiedler
free membership code is ACAFREE
Richelle Williams
Can I speak to that?
Sarah Schrenk
All student employees at our university are "at-will" employees. Anyone else?
Tim Huchton
I do work for ACA
www.acacamps.org/membership/free use the Code TIM
1 year of free individual membership
Kathryn Hutchings
We plan to have both virtual and in person training but it will likely start later.
Kelsey Winkler
Yes for lay responder only
Samantha Lowry
Richelle can you please send that to me too? SLowry8@kennesaw.edu
Michael Pappan
Last I knew once you complete the online course you have a year to test out the pratical skills
Jamaica Cannon
That is something we are considering
Natalie Hiller-claridge
On the ACA forum they said not to do the temp because it isn’t the best indicator
Jean Holt
On ACA Call they said you can to daily temps of staff.
Richelle Williams
we are doing zoom interviews
Jamaica Cannon
with staff and campers.
Anne Marie Skylis
sorry - we said take every kid's temperature every day - the camp would be doing this?
Jamaica Cannon
no but that's a great point
Richelle Williams
we haven't even thought about that. that is a great thing to think about.
DeVanee Lasley
is anyone considering a policy on if a camper has a certain temp whether or not they can come to camp that day?
Venessa Fiedler
canvas, zoom
Marissa Engel
ACA Create your own training and Zoom
Natalie Hiller-claridge
We are using expertonlinetraining.com
Crystal Durham
would anyone be willing to share their camp's communicable disease policy? crystal.durham@nau.edu
Bill Moorman
Who (of you) will be checking camper’s temp at check in?
Kenton Elworth
Canvas, zoom and safety skills
Janice DeMonsi
Like with a childs school - parents should know NOT to send their kids to camp unless they have been fever free without medicine for 24 hours.
Jean Holt
ACA has a program that you can build your own sessions or use a pre-packaged program
Christopher Ballard
Zoom for live communication and interviews. and then emailing out powerpoints and webinars
Marissa Engel
kahoot/padlet for interactions and check understanding
Venessa Fiedler
zoom has the breakout room option, which is great!
Jon Janis
I would recommend getting a standard temperature from your Student Health Center if you are concerned
Domonique Sak
@DeVanee, we do a "wellness check" during check-in with the parents. the guidelines are "is there anything visible?" cuts, bruises, scratches, etc. that can be seen should be brought to parent's attention before they leave. when it comes to temperatures, usually you see the camper not being themselves, but you don't catch the temperature spike until later. there have been times where I mentioned a camper didn't look good, the parent touched their forehead, and made that assessment themselves right there. so nothing formal, but whatever is visible
Andrew Hoffer
Has anyone thought about providing childcare (cost or not) to current health care workers, essential employees, etc. currently??
Sean Graninger
I would also talk to your general counsel about taking campers temperatures. If a camper or staff member does get sick you may be opening yourself up to some liability...
Corrine Pruett
Does anyone have a “Junior Counselor” program/position? If so, please email me I would love to hear more about your model! We are also in our second year of camp at WVU and would love to look at other “Parent/Employee Handbooks, Manuals, etc.” if you are willing to share! corrine.pruett@mail.wvu.edu
nick pangio
Tim, does this virtual training allow us to pass our ACA accreditation for us camps that are ACA accredited?
Natalie Hiller-claridge
Expert training was only $390 for us.
Joy Sams
Is anyone conducting 100% virtual camp offering?
Tim Huchton
ONline training resources from ACA
https://www.acacamps.org/resource-library/professional-development/create-your-own-online-staff-training-packages
Venessa Fiedler
We are currently already running coffee hours and trivia nights for our staff to start that process
Janice DeMonsi
Lots more team building activities - but I have no ideas what they would look like
Nora Osei
@Corrine, we have a Counselor In Training Program! I would be more than happy to share more information about it. Please reach out to me at Nora.osei@princeton.edu and we can set up a time to chat.
Jeff Heiser
Michelle Cummings has been doing webinars on Virtual Team Building: http://web-extract.constantcontact.com/v1/social_annotation_v2?permalink_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fmyemail.constantcontact.com%2FTraining-Wheels--More-Virtual-Team-Building-Games-.html%3Fsoid%3D1101278278671%26aid%3DEjUpfdMqANQ&image_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmlsvc01-prod.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff04fc496001%2F883a7441-c0dd-4b30-bb84-aab8ba7580cc.jpg%3Fver%3D1585694987000&fbclid=IwAR1gX9Zc_6mL6qcaNKvdn7SFljYozWxBlzqq5FFqjFiD270-YE9Fmw1tGf8
NIRSA Smartboard
Since the poll results didn't share to screen, I'll list them here: 70% proceeding as normal; 29% planning with reduced/modified offerings; 15% exploring virtual camps; 7% cancelled (84 individuals responded)
Chad Baker
A lot of universities with team building/challenge course programs are looking at online team building. If you have such a program I would encourage you to talk to them.
nick pangio
do you see a good turnout?
Jamaica Cannon
Are universities treating camps different that have to do with sports vs non contact programs?
Abby Van Note
Nick, we've seen limited results so far but we started this week
Jaclyn Gidley
Rec Sports Camp - very active (aka not daycare) at this point
nick pangio
We are looking to taking out our sport and kitchen camps at ohio state
Bill Moorman
We are active- not daycare.
Domonique Sak
our model is very similar to community recreation because they are our competitors
Michael Pappan
Has anyone explored moving camps to a school break like fall or christmas break?
Natalie Hiller-claridge
Has anyone thought about the fact that schools may be closed, but the virus restrictions get lifted before the normal school year would have ended…Parents are going to be soooo ready to send their kids to camp. Is anyone planning to launch camps early in the outside chance this happens?
nick pangio
we already run those at osu
Crystal Durham
we've explored offering winter break camps, but never have because it's the only down-time I have to get any prep done
Mike Rac
We have multiple "schools out" day camp during the year.
Kenton Elworth
We talked about opening camps early, but everything is pointing to that not being an option to allow for trainings, registrations, and be truly ready
Venessa Fiedler
Keep in mind that supply ordering may become a big factor....orders that are on hold right now are potentially going to hit vendors all at the same time.
Jamaica Cannon
@mike what is the "schools out" day
nick pangio
Abby- we are putting that decision on the university
Angela Caringella
I would be hesitant to start early since we would not have staff adequately trained
Crystal Durham
same as Angela ^
Bill Moorman
We also do Presidents Day camp, spring break camp, birthday parties, special events, etc.
Jeremy Hamlett
We've started a Google Classroom for our currently enrolled campers. We've tested it this week with all small group and will go live with all campers next week. We post instructions and material lists and then the campers can post their completed projects to share and interact. Eventually plan to offer counselor led Zoom activities. If camp does not happen this summer, we'll use this platform to provide a virtual camp. Haven't figured out pricing yet if we're virtual.
nick pangio
we also do snow day camps
Bill Moorman
@Nick how do you plan for those?
Christopher Ballard
^^??
Bill Moorman
@jeremy can I spy in on one of your virtual sessions to see how everything goes?
Bill Moorman
hahaha wmoorman@uccs.edu
Janice DeMonsi
Google Classroom allows you to add assignments, projects and NOT teach them at that time - my son does his classroom time all over the place
Nora Osei
@Jeremy, I would love to see that as well!
nick pangio
for snow day We have parents put a deposit down in the fall and offer from January 15-March for only those campers 1. we set up an on call schedule week by week with staff that are on call. somehow it works. feel free to email me at Pangio.3@osu.edu and I can go in more detail
Andrew Hoffer
Keep your links private. Don’t post them on website or publicly viewed communications.

Don't forget to look at Microsoft Teams which also does virtual classrooms as well
Marissa Engel
what about liability if campers get hurt doing dance or other activities
Venessa Fiedler
sarah kurtz-mckinnon did a great webinar on virtual camps if you can find it
Michael Pappan
Those of you having counselor led sessions are you using Zoom to be more interactive or to control who can see it? Has anyone done Facebook Live demonstratsions?
Jean Holt
We're working with some academic partners (departments) on virtual options
Mike Rac
Teams is great, it does staff scheduling. better than when i work in my opinion.
Jean Holt

Crystal Durham

Mike Rac

Domonique Sak

Mike Rac
Don't worry Andrew after 15 years in campus rec I moved to the private sector as well.
Venessa Fiedler
Tim Hutchon is your best bet on seeking aca accreditation for camps on campus :)
Abby Van Note
ACA accreditation COVID-19 specific or in general
nick pangio

Venessa Fiedler
If you've never attended the Camps on Campus preconference at the ACA National Conference, you definitely should!! One of the best resources/workshops out there

Tim Huchton
Tons of great info here
Janice DeMonsi
I would like to know more about who canceled and why - was it administration
Jeremy Hamlett
Marketing and brand preservation if summer 2020 does not happen.
Jamaica Cannon
When they canceled are they saying June/July or limiting into the Fall as well?
Michael Pappan
Demonstation classes/activities for virtual engagement
Mike Rac
For those conducting swim lessons during camp organizing it? How do you work in upcharges?
Jean Holt
We are cancelling on-campus camps b/c our university has moved all summer classes online.
Mike Rac
How are you organizing it. sorry touch screen deleted a portion
Janice DeMonsi
Would you do another session in May as well as we get closer to more camp dates and more potential closures or delays to starting camp it would be useful to be closer to the time camps launch

Scott Flickinger
Atta way, Tom.
Ashley Lax
lol @brooks. we have to pay students without them working. if they work, we have to pay them on top of the stipend the university has decided
Amanda Bray
We were able to rehire our students under a “cleaning and maintenance” position so that we can track how much money we are spending toward the fight against COVID. We can potentially get paid back for those hours.
Jerrell Kelly
Aaron, we were told at WKU that we have to find meaningful work for any that we keep and our institution also included a letter writing campaign the university is running, but our department has decided not to go this route as all pay would be out of departmental budgets
Crystal Durham
@Aaron I made a list of remote tasks that includes creating a bank of questions that we can use for weekly quizzes in the future, renaming our storing video clips so they aren't IMG003, and taking full video from this year and cutting it into clips for training
DJ Doss
@Brooks - I know that it is a similar type of work, but we have had some of our more veteran employees help with reviewing training material
Jon Randle
KU is continuing pay for students based off their semester average. No work required, in fact, students working is frowned upon. Sometimes money does grow on trees.....
Jacob Walker
