Old Business:
POA has approved the hiring of Camp Director and Asst Directors.  Both are eager to hit the ground running and will be involved in hiring and structuring the upcoming summer camp season.

New Business:
Camp packets are being finalized and will include COVID information and information on how refunds will be handled if camp is cancelled or cut short due to COVID.

Open House dates are being finalized – these will be held virtually to make it easier for families to attend and there will be multiple dates scheduled.

The POA will be implementing a new mobile app time card system so staff will be able to “clock-in” on their phones when they arrive at POA facilities. The APP includes a geographic location check so they cannot trick the system. Once fully operational Camp Directors will be trained so they can then train staff before season begins.

Discussion of using a Communications App vs daily emails for camp information. Debby Linnell is researching two apps now.

Staffing – we are continuing to accept applications for staff and will be starting interviews soon with the Camp Directors involvement.

Discussion on creating a supervisory role for the before care / after care at the club house.  This position will be responsible for setting up each morning before staff/kids arrive and then being there in afternoon for late pickup.

Discussion on Camp Nature Person – former person who held the position for years has moved away so position is open and we are actively looking.

Discussion on Afield Building – Maintenance will be looking over the steel shutters to see if they need to be removed for the season.

Discussion on camp bus company – we have reached out to Jordan and Rockaway Township to get quotes for camp season – we will be contacting additional companies - 1st Student and Educational Commission.
