During a pandemic, it takes guts to even go and get take-out, imagine what it would take to start your own virtual camp! Imagine no more! Eva Peringer share’s her journey with us here on Beyond Camp.Today we are speaking with Eva Peringer who has pivoted this summer to founding her own virtual theatre and arts youth program.

Her view of the pandemic focuses on gratitude and adjusting our perspective. This is a new and exciting view that we dive deep into on this episode. She took the opportunity to recognize her power and choose what she wanted to do with it during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tune in to this episode to hear about:

• Eva’s journey through the Camp Industry
• How did Eva personally and professionally manage the uncertainty that came with starting her own camp in the midst of the COIVD-19 pandemic?
• What were some of the biggest stresses for her, camp and her family during this time?
• What kinds of things were unexpected about what it’s like to start a camp from scratch?
• What were some of the hidden silver linings and joys that came from this experience?
