THE BIG 5 0! Welcome to episode 50 of BITS & Pieces: For The Summer Camp Newbie. This week I am looking at summer camp life from a different angle. I will be sharing how to deal with conflict.

These create a perfect storm to have a conflict with at least one person during the summer. In this episode, I am giving you a how-to and perhaps you leave with a little more knowledge than when you started.

I was thrilled to be a guest on "Camp Kids Podcast" chatting about experiences and bonding over summer camp. I connected with Jo Bob - the host of the Camp Kids Podcast - via social media.

I truly enjoyed recording this conversation, and we hope you do too!
