“DECA and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) are collaborating on this very exciting project [to subscribe to Leadership Essentials] and I believe it will be such an asset to all participating diabetes camps. Thanks for the amazing things you do for all camps and the kids we serve. I look forward to having our American Diabetes Assocation staff use your online counselor training program.”

“We implemented the Leadership Essentials Online Training Program for our staff as a precursor to our pre-camp training. As a result of the dynamic monitoring options Leadership Essentials offers, we had a clear picture of what skills our staff had and which ones required emphasis during our customized on-site training.

Our counselors told us that they felt an elevated sense of professionalism and high expectations from the camp management. This was just what we wanted. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our staff training by using today’s exciting new staff development tools. It was a wonderful experience and we look forward to the additional material that has been added.

Thanks a bundle; we really do enjoy the benefits of this service.”

“Just watched your new modules and we really like them! We’re excited to sharethem with our staff this spring and we’re fully confident that our new and returning staff will be that much better equipped when they get to camp, thanks to all the training you provide on EOT. It’s wonderful to think about the ripple effect of your training on our staff and then on all the children they work and play with!”

“Chris has been providing in-person staff training workshops at Camp Laney for 10 years. This year, I was excited to jump-start his in-person training with Leadership Essentials. I know that the strategic addition of Chris’s online video training modules will allow our leadership team (and Chris himself) to teach my staff more advanced skills during staff training week. So far, the video training modules are also getting all my staff–especially my first-year counselors–psyched for camp.”

“We’ve been training our staff with ExpertOnlineTraining.com for two years. Instead of absorbing huge amounts of information in a few days at camp, our staff can pace themselves by watching EOT videos at home. Completing a lot of topics before arrival gives them more time to prep in their activity areas during staff training week and helps them get in the right mindset for camp. They better appreciate their responsibilities as youth leaders. Each summer, we also learn how to best customize the videos & topics to our setting. Last summer, for example, we saved a few videos, watched them as a full staff, then broke up into discussion groups.”

“Expert Online training is an amazing product and we have used it for 4 years now. We primarily use it for our senior staff. It is a great way to connect with our senior staff because many of them are overseas or out of town. We do a great deal of training online with them before they come to camp. It helps to get them energized in the spring and they are all set to go by the time they get to camp.”

“I love EOT because it gives me the availability to have my staff do more intensive training. Training that allows us to have the ability to do team building and be able to connect together as staff as units. It takes my mission and vision for my camp to another level. I would recommend EOT to anyone, it enables you to have a similar foundation that allows everyone to call upon and connect back to. Use EOT!”

Mitchell Parker

“I was very happy that we used Leadership Essentials as part of our Staff pre-camp training requirements. It not only helped provide the key training principles that a camp staff member needs, it also allowed me to monitor the use of the tool which gave me a preview of the individual incentive of my staff before they arrived at camp. It will continue to be part of our pre-camp training and I would highly recommend it for any resident camp.”

“We’ve been using Expert Online Training with much success during our staff orientation. It’s terrific to use in combination with everything else because the videos and quizzes keep our staff interested! Actually, our staff let us know last year that it was a great addition to their training, so we’ve renewed our subscription. I love the fact that you have added new presenters and fresh content to the library this year as well! Can’t wait for more new and updated topics next year! Thanks for helping out!”
