Description

Building a dynamic character curriculum for summer camp is one thing; adapting it to the structured environment of year-round afterschool programs is another. In this practical case study, presenter [Your Name] breaks down the step-by-step process of designing a custom character curriculum for YMCA summer camps and successfully integrating it into year-round afterschool sites. Attendees will explore how to modularize core character traits (such as resilience, empathy, and integrity), train frontline staff for high-impact facilitation, and maintain engagement across different delivery formats. Participants will leave with a clear roadmap for scaling character-building tools across diverse program models without losing the fun, relational spark that makes out-of-school time unique.
