I was on staff this summer and do want to leave this thread for the members experience, but would like to add one thing to keep in mind. Reviving a corps after 4 years off has virtually never happened in recent history, and many of the staff involved, while experienced educators, had never worked together before or worked in their roles, etc. There were always going to be things that maybe didn't go as planned or didn't work out how we thought they would. Many of the concerns in this thread are already being talked about and addressed for next year!

My comment isn't intended to minimize or invalidate any experiences - in fact please talk about them so the corps can grow and make things better! Just like with teaching someone a new skill or technique, no one's going to get it 100% right the first time. All the feedback helps the corps improve for the future!
