MONDAY AFTERNOON KEYNOTE
Unlocking Practical AI for Camp Operators: From Hype to Hands-On ROI
AI isn’t replacing counselors or campers, but it can supercharge how camps operate. In this high-energy, no-fluff keynote, Nick Machol demystifies AI for camp owners and directors and shows exactly how to use it as an amplifier, not a replacer. He’ll walk you through a simple crawl-walk-run roadmap to implement AI without big budgets or consultants, the Laws of AI Excellence for nontechnical teams, and practical playbooks to evaluate use cases, build training rhythms, and create accountability. Attendees leave with clear next steps to capture real ROI in the first 30–60 days.
