ROUNDTABLE - Special Events: Bringing the Magic to Summer & School Year!

It’s special event season—from spring celebrations like Alumni Weekend, Grandparents & Special Friends and Graduation to summer theme planning, there’s no shortage of creativity and logistics to juggle! Let’s come together to brainstorm, share ideas, and swap best practices for making events engaging, mission-aligned, and memorable for campers, students, and staff alike. What are your most creative event, biggest hits, and what’s new for 2025? How do you engage your team in planning & execution of special events? How do you celebrate and build culture within your team? Who are your best partners in other departments for special events? Share what’s on deck with your Summer 2025 themes and gather fresh inspiration! Whether you’re finalizing summer plans or looking for new ideas to elevate school-year events, this is your space to crowdsource, collaborate, and get inspired!
