ANDY’S
PRESENTATIONS FOR CAMPS AND RECREATION GROUPS
Andy’s keynote presentations run approximately 50-75 minutes in length, based
on your needs. He also offers leadership workshops that compliment the messages
of his keynotes. These presentations are based on his experiences as a camp
owner and counselor, as a speaker traveling North America, and as a successful
entrepreneur in the field of leadership and personal development.
Andy’s specific experiences owning and operating a youth leadership camp gives
him excellent background for these sessions. Andy’s camp, Youth Leadership
Camps Canada (YLCC), was based in the London area from 1993 to 2003. YLCC is an
Ontario Camping Association (OCA) accredited program and he was a camp
co-director for 4 years. YLCC continues to this day in Orillia, Ontario under
the direction of Stu Saunders at www.ylcc.com.
All programs feature icebreakers, songs, cheers and games to keep your staff
enthusiastic and interested. Andy will teach your leaders some new activities
that they can use at your camp!
WHO USES ANDY’S IMPACT PRESENTATIONS?
Andy’s IMPACT programs have been used in the following recreational leadership
and camp staff training settings:
Recreation leaders training; mid-summer camp staff motivation; Camp counselor
training, “thank you events” at summer’s end; conferences for professionals in
recreation and camp programs; colleges that offer recreational leadership
courses.
KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
A keynote presentation offers motivation, thoughtful insight, and humorous
reflections through Andy’s unique high-energy delivery. Keynotes are not
"note-taking" sessions and have a higher "entertainment" element than a
workshop. Presentation length can be adjusted to your needs.
SHARE YOUR
CARE
“Share Your Care
” is a perfect message for recreation leaders and camp staff
prior to the summer. Drawing on his experiences as a camp director and
university leader, Andy powerfully reminds your staff of the fun, impact and
responsibilities that their position carries. Additional themes include
commitment, teamwork, motivation, and handling stress. You can also use this
presentation as a mid-summer motivational for your group!
LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS
Andy’s workshops educate through the use of humour, energy, and personal
stories to breathe life into the material. These sessions are more appropriate
for formalized settings.
1. "CAN I COUNT ON YOU?" - Building Your Reliability
This session addresses the concepts of "time management" from a unique and
very interesting perspective. Trust is the foundation for loving families, fun
friendships, spirited students' councils, successful businesses, and effective
leaders. Yet people earn the trust of another by being reliable. Andy offers
useful and immediately applicable advice on improving your reliability. Through
his insights, he demonstrates how increased reliability improves one's time
management!
2. “LET’S
TALK!” - Effective
Communication Skills
Get "excited" about your next speaking opportunity! This session draws on
Andy's massive speaking experience, ranging from high school pep rallies,
university orientation weeks to adult programs across North America. He offers
useful insight on: overcoming "the fear" (and how it is linked to self esteem),
putting more "you" into all of your communication, using the "power of the
positive", and how to "visualize" your improved speaking performances. Andy's
ideas are applicable whether you're communicating with one person or one
thousand!
3. “COMMUNICATING
CARE TO KIDS!” -
Effective Communication Skills Version 2
This highly interactive workshop is second version of the “Let’s Talk”
program. In this, the focus is on the power of words in communicating care and
concern for the children in our programs. Camp leaders share statements and
“power words” that can form the basis of their conversations with kids. Leaders
become aware that their little efforts everyday to watch they way they talk to
kids. This can make a massive impact in the camper’s enjoyment of our programs.
4. “RECESS ATTITUDE!” Icebreakers and interaction!
Do you need a 10 to 60 minute block of time filled with cheers, large group
games, and icebreakers? Andy can easily provide a hilarious session that will
get all of your participants on their feet to laugh, cheer and meet each other!
It will be a great source of new material for your leaders!
Expect all presentations will feature a mix of cheers and icebreakers to keep
your leaders laughing and interacting!
