“Dear Chris: Once again I am so very thankful for the opportunity to attend your fabulous presentations. Not only did you inspire me to take stock in my innate talents, but your work also inspired insights, resolutions and future plans for camp. Your succinct, easy-going style is so entertaining, approachable and packed with fantastic information. You are an immensely valuable resource in this industry. I credit you with the best training work with my staff. And, as my husband said, ‘He is a stud! So smart and in-shape!’ He aspires. As do I.”Rachel Bredemus Director, Camp Birchwood September 11, 2017

“We’ve had many “guest trainers” at Timberlane over the 30 years of my directorship, including lots of the big names we all see at conferences and whose articles we read in magazines. Chris has proven to be our *most effective* trainer, probably because he connects so incredibly well with the staff. They like him and they see his legitimacy because he also works as a camp waterfront director. So they listen to him. If you’ve never had a guest trainer added to your staff training before, I understand. Many years ago I used to see it as an expense that I could easily and competently avoid by handling our training myself and with my admin team. And we do a great job with that, just as I’m sure you do. However, I am 100% convinced that a top-tier guest trainer makes a big difference for the staff, and ultimately for the campers. You invest in a lot in camp each summer. Enhancing your staff training with an investment like this is an idea I highly recommend you consider, and Chris is–in my opinion–as good as it gets.”Mike Cohen Director, Camp Timberlane September 11, 2017

“Dear Chris: Thank you for such energizing and invaluable seminars yesterday! I know I speak for all 70+ professionals in the room that your focus on courageous ignorance and participant safety was time very well spent. I look forward to the next time we can all be together.

“Dear Chris: Thank you for such energizing and invaluable seminars yesterday! I know I speak for all 70+ professionals in the room that your focus on courageous ignorance and participant safety was time very well spent. I look forward to the next time we can all be together. As you might have expected, yesterday’s content lends itself perfectly to a fresh look at both of these critical areas for our staff. And your infectious enthusiasm is what camp means to so many. Keep it coming!”David G. Smith Camp Manager, Lair of the Golden Bear September 11, 2017
