But with summer camp approaching, I’m starting to think about how we can streamline our resource allocation. Last year, we had some hiccups with equipment shortages during peak activity times, and I really want to avoid that this time around. I’m curious — what strategies have worked for others in terms of planning and managing supplies effectively?
I totally get what you mean about the equipment shortages. Last summer, we used a shared scheduling tool for peak times, which helped everyone see what’s available. Maybe it’s worth exploring that for your camp?
A shared scheduling tool really helps, but I’d also suggest doing a pre-camp inventory check a week before kickoff. It gives you a clearer picture of what’s missing and lets you address any shortages early. Can you see a situation where that might work for your team?
