Episode two takes us back to the beginning. You will hear the origin story of how Stomping Ground all came together. Tune in as Laura covers Jack and Laura's cross country road trip, camp's first summer in 2015, and so much more! 

In this episode we are joined by the other SG co-founder, Jack Schott. He picks up where we left off in the Stomping Ground origin story, talking about the new camp property acquired in 2020 and the excitement about our new forever home in Saratoga Springs. 

Ever wondered what really happens in a day of working for a summer camp? Join Klee, Stomping Ground's Camp Director, as she gets down to brass tax about what the day to day life of an SG employee is really like. 

Camp is a weird place. In this episode we talk through some of the stereotypes of a “traditional camp counselor” as we acknowledge that working at camps is unlike any other job. It then becomes our job to let people know you don’t have to fit a specific mold to be a staff member at Stomping Ground.

Join us for our first "quick hitters" segment with George and Ray! Each of these episodes will feel like a sprint, as these two hooligans try to name and explain a wide variety of SG terms. Tune in as we build out the Stomping Ground glossary.

We are back this episode with Klee as she breaks down all of the essentials you need to know about in packing for camp. Learn about the amenities camp has to offer, and even hear about the stellar food menu at Stomping Ground. 

Put your engineer hats on! Jack talks us through the business and operation sides of camp. This episode paints a picture of how this whole machine works, and we have a little fun along the way. 

George is back! Sit back for another segment of quick hitters, this time focusing on the systems of camp. The clock keeps ticking as we grow the SG glossary!

We all make mistakes and it can suck when we mess up. Join Jack and Ray as we talk about some bumps in the road at SG, and how we support each other to move forward.
