Welcome to CAMP

Hey, my name's Allan and I'm a manufacturing/healthcare training consultant with a Christian Thought degree. I specialize in Team Building, Leadership Development, and Kaizen/Continuous Process Improvement/Toyota Production System/Lean. I'm going to graduate school in the fall and this summer ... I'm going to CAMP!

I'll be working for a Christian camp and conference center in rural Western, PA. My job is to supervise the men's staff and male campers through discipline and discipleship. Shhhh ... don't tell anyone but I'm also going to attempt to apply the principles and tools of continuous improvement to my work here.

If you know kaizen and don't know camp read this, and this, and this!

If you know camp and not kaizen, read this, and this, and this!

This blog will, hopefully, chronicle my journey this summer and draw out some important lessons in the application of the tools of business and enterprise to the heart and soul of summer camp ministry and hopefully, the other way around too!

Enjoy!
