The Camp Director Mentor program matches new camp directors with mentors in the field as they navigate the demands and opportunities of their new role. With a structured process, mentors and mentees have several connection points spanning nine months, aimed at providing mentees with support, an outside perspective, and the opportunity to learn alongside someone who deeply understands the role. Mentors gain the opportunity to deepen their mentoring tool kit and build a connection with new talent in the field.

The opportunity to be together at camp can be one of the most helpful and enriching shared experiences in the mentoring relationship. Camp is where the magic happens and being able to share it and be immersed in it after spending months working together will be the capstone of the mentor/mentee relationship.
FJC recognizes that all this planning will be happening in the context of a world-wide pandemic, so we will all work together to be safe and adaptive with plans as needed.
