We are first-time EOT subscribers and I have to say: I don’t know why we waited! The videos are applicable, professional, and hold your attention. What a wonderful resource for our staff (and for me!). I especially liked the Awesome Archery series. It covers lots more than a standard course and, like all of the EOT videos, is tailored to summer youth programs. Thank you, Chris and the entire EOT Team!

“EOT is simply an outstanding resource. I recommend this learning program without hesitation to any organization wishing to pursue excellence. The materials are practical and straightforward, with excellent presenters and support. Relevant and responsive – in short, this is an excellent resource.”

“I highly recommend EOT’s video series on bullying and relational aggression! My staff took to heart the situations in Dr. Joel Haber’s Preventing Gossip and Relational Aggression and Scott Arizala’s We Squashed It: Relational Aggression. Using the techniques in those videos, my staff were able to spot and intervene in so many nearly-invisible situations last summer, before they became destructive for our campers. Thanks to EOT, our ability to proactively solve bullying and relational aggression gave us immense credibility in our parents’ eyes and made my camp a safer and more positive place.”

“Expert Online Training delivers some of the best industry professionals into our dining hall each year during staff training. Even without meeting the EOT team in person, our staff members learn vital skills that help them become thoughtful and intentional guides for our campers. As they recall what they learned from the videos throughout the summer, our counselors feel as if they know and trust the people they met on the screen. Our staff training just wouldn’t be the same without EOT as together we help each staff members become their ‘best me at GRP!'”

“Dear Dr. Thurber: I have spent the past nine summers at Camp Friendship; the last five as a counselor. Before our on-site training, everyone on the staff watches a different collection of Expert Online Training videos. We all agree they are an amazing resource! Thank you so much for being a great help to camp counselors and students alike! You and the EOT faculty have been a tremendous help to me, both as a counselor and as a student, especially as I prepare for my upcoming coursework in youth development. Thanks to EOT, I got an A+ on my speech for my Public Speaking class, called, “All Children Should Experience Camp.”

“EOT has allowed us to deliver consistent and current content across multiple locations, and to demonstrate that our staff have understood the content. We believe EOT is providing more efficient and higher quality training than we could produce on our own.”

“Thank you for our fifth great season using ExpertOnlineTraining.com. We love EOT because it prepares our staff prior to their arrival for the challenges of working with young people. They come to camp confident and prepared after viewing skillful solutions to all kinds of counselor-based and camper-based problems. We continue to make the training modules available during the summer so our staff can get instant help with any leadership issue.”

“Leadership Essentials became a well known entity at Culver Summer Schools & Camps this summer. We asked all 380 staff members to login to LE prior to arriving at camp and most completed the entire program. We loved being able to print the certificate of completion for staff to add to their personnel portfolio.

The staff told us that the videos were informative, a good reminder of issues, and related to real camp situations that college-age men and women may not know how to handle yet. One staff member commented: ‘Have to admit, I thought the training videos were going to be awful. I was TOTALLY wrong–they rock!‘”

“Chris, your short, topical videos—combined with matching handouts and online quizzes—allow us to monitor, evaluate, and help our staff prepare for the summer and gain confidence working with kids. With your innovative product, our staff will come to camp more prepared than ever and I thank you for this. By monitoring the quiz results, we will also be able to gauge which subjects need additional emphasis during our inservice training.”

“We were very pleased with our decision to purchase Leadership Essentials. Feedback from staff about Leadership Essentials was extremely positive. Every staff member arrived for orientation with a much clearer idea of what we expected from them…and the video training modules gave us a common language and skill set to use throughout the summer. Bottom line: Our staff were ready for their counseling and leadership responsibilities right from opening day. Thank you, Chris. We’re renewing our subscription!”
