The Tri-State CAMP Conference Program Committee invites you to submit a proposal to present information that will educate and challenge conference participants.

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday September 14, 2010 and notification of accepted presentations will be sent by late November, 2010.

Conference Description: The Tri State CAMP Conference, our flagship event, is a gathering of nearly 4000 summer camp professionals, seasonal staff and youth development specialists who come together to network, gain new skills and share best practices in the field. In addition to a 300-booth exhibit hall and nightly social events, we offer over 150 educational workshops and seminars on a wide range of subjects that pertain to not-for-profit and private resident, day, travel and special population camps. Our goal is for each attendee to leave this four-day conference not just with new tools for programming and planning, but with motivation and excitement about enhancing the lives of children through a positive summer camp experience.
