How Can You Build Your Network Through Summer Camp? Discord!
Falling Creek staff and alumni, today we wanted to share 5 reasons why you should join our summer camp Discord server!
What is Discord? Discord is a social platform that allows you to talk and text in a private group, or server. We’ve created an exclusive camp server just for Falling Creek camp counselors and alumni!
Current staff, if you haven’t already, you can join through the link sent in your email. Alumni, we’d love for you to join too. Email and we’ll send you the staff Discord server link.
Why should you join?
1) Get to know each other before the summer
There are chat and voice channels for news, general chat, and even activity planning. Once you join you can read through the tutorial - this explains how to add your summer camp roles so you get the applicable notifications, and then you can post a quick introduction.
2) Live Director Chats
Asst. Staff & Program Director, Zach Rivera, is hosting live chats throughout May, 2023! These are casual meetups, where you can drop in and chat with a director before the summer, hang out, and get any questions you have about the job answered. There are 7 of these on the calendar already so check our recent social posts for the dates and times!
3) Professional Development Opportunities
This is where you come in alumni! This private staff server is open to alumni too, with threads on resume help, networking, and space where alumni can post job listings that they’re hiring for after the summer. There’s also a channel for those seeking jobs, where you can share your skills, ideal location, and industry you’re looking to work in.
4) Staff Resources
The “FCC University” channel has threads on summer camp lingo and history, packing advice, daily life, and other things you might be wondering as a new staff member
5) Camp Community
Finally, you’ll want to join the Discord to be part of the existing online community, both during and after the summer. Each summer the staff team has their own channel. You can use this for activity chat or day off planning during the summer, and after camp, you can continue to reach out to your fellow staff or the alumni channels, and have access to an online community year-round.
Current staff, if you haven’t already, you can join through the link sent in your email. Alumni, we’d love for you to join too. Email and we’ll send you the staff Discord server link. See you there!
