I just got word today that my session proposal was accepted by the ACA Tristate Camp Conference Program Committee, and so I will be speaking at the largest gathering of camp professionals in the country!

Side Note: One of the keynote speakers will be Henry Winkler, who along with his acting and producing career, is an active advocate for kids with special needs.  Winkler is dyslexic, and his book series features a dyslexic hero, Hank Zipzer, the “World’s Greatest Underachiever”.  I’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say, but it’s also fun to think I’m speaking at the same conference as the Fonz.

From the conference website: In its 28th year, The Tri-State Camp Conference continues to be the most important “off-season” event for nearly 4000 attendees each year. Camp professionals, seasonal staff, youth development professionals, and “out of school” experiential educators gather annually to participate in over 200 program sessions, visit the 300 booth exhibit hall, and network amongst a group of people dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children.
