Request the Road Crew (Coming in November!)

Road Crew is excited to visit to your location in Spring 2024!

If you're unfamiliar with Road Crew, this is a highly-trained team of four WinShape summer staffers who bring fun games and equipment to your community and raise awareness for camp! In an effort to streamline our systems to better serve you, we've made some updates to expectations and process that we want you to be aware of for Spring 2024.

We've seen the most success through Road Crew events where our WinShape staff provide the entertainment for the event, parents and families in the community receive updates and news about the event prior to its start, and hosts are able to be present for the duration of the event. To provide a consistent experience in each community, we ask that you assist the Road Crew by following this model as well!

You will also be able to schedule an individual conversation with our Road Crew Coordinator, Josh Hines, who will answer questions and provide guidance so that you can maximize your Road Crew experience.

Registration for Spring Road Crew will open on November 14th, 2023 (accessible in next month's Newsletter).

How to Prep for Host Rally 2024 ๐ŸŽ‰

Host Rally planning is happening as we speak and we are excited to announce that Host Rally registration is opening up NEXT MONTH!

As stated in your contract, we are willing to pay for you and two members from your Leadership Team to attend the conference in January. That being said, you are more than welcome to bring as many members from your team as desired, for an additional accrued cost.

You can expect more cost information in next month's Newsletter when we send out the Host Rally Conference Packet.

In anticipation of the event, we recommend going ahead and identifying your Conference Attendees this month! In addition to your attendance as a host, we recommend that you bring someone from your Leadership Team who will focus on Volunteers and someone who can focus on Registration and/or Marketing camp in your community.

Let the countdown begin!
