Last week I did a presentation for the camp directors and counselors at Laity Lodge Youth Camp about the power of storytelling. I have been serving as the website content editor for the camp since February. One of the strategic initiatives that we’ve been working on is turning the blog and Facebook page into venues for authentic storytelling. To get that authenticity requires people from the front lines to provide insights, in this case the counselors and staff themselves. So along with my husband Troy and son Micah, I went to camp for a few days.
They already do an amazing amount of high quality photography and video during camp. Now it’s just a matter of getting the “why” behind the images and translating these stories for an audience outside of camp. The first session started on Sunday. I’m looking forward to what the summer holds.
