We Help Camps Plan and Integrate Character Development Successfully
Cloud9World at Camp partners with camps of all sizes to help you plan, train, and implement character development in ways that fit your mission, schedule, and community. Whether you are preparing for your first summer with character intentionally integrated or building a system-wide plan for a network of camps, our team provides planning support, training resources, and practical guidance grounded in real camp life.

Staff preparation and training
Professional development for directors, counselors, and activity leaders focused on character formation and social-emotional development.

Guidance on how character strengths connect to your daily activities including sports, crafts, group sessions, and meals.
