Doing a regular huddle can be an effective tool for leaders in summer camps to get their team on the same page. A quick, daily gathering of key players can help with communication and coordination. The investment of just a few minutes can make a huge difference.
1. Have a clear purpose. Make everyone knows the purpose and desired outcome for the huddles.
2. Structure your content. Have a clear plan that you use for every huddle and stick to it.
3. Prepare some questions to stimulate discussion. "What are we hearing from the campers?" "Is there an area we're not currently meeting expectations?" "Are we seeing any recurring issues with the counselors?"
4. Check for understanding. Make sure your message is heard and understood.
5. Recap and reinforce. Who is going to do what.
