They have either been before breakfast (which can be hard for work/staff breakfast), right when the morning event ends (pool olympics is over its time for a meeting) or right before lunch. My preferences is that they are right when the morning event ends. I think it is the best time with almost no conflicts. I have been a multiple assignments and never had an early morning meeting.

And man... Malibu is the best! You are correct, the leaders meetings are traditionally right before or after dinner on most nights. The "War Room" meeting is a different meeting and is not for the leaders but the property staff, camp director, program team and others to go make sure all the plans are set for the day. If you have any pull, put in a good word for me at Malibu, I'd love to get back there soon! Chris, thanks for your comment. And man… Malibu is the best!

There is a recall horn 1 hour before dinner every day. To the students, it signals that store/snack shop/coffee shop closes, rides/pool close. To the leaders, it means that the leader mtg is about to start. Leaders get a peak at the schedule for their next 24 hours @ camp. Malibu Club always has their leader meeting 1 hour before dinner.

They feel like it sets them up for the day better--get everything laid out right at the beginning. I haven't been able to change their minds to anything else. Love the NE strategy though. Who teaches the Bible part? I’ve been a camp director twice now and both times I’ve asked my team and they refuse to change the morning time, even though some of them are anything but morning people.

Just thought I'd send a note about the morning meeting. Having been with YL in the south for 16 years I was quite used to morning meetings/war room time. I moved to the Northeast and on my first assignment found out there was no 'war room' ! Shock! Here is our summer plan-- Morning Bible for staff before breakfast (some camp staff attend also) 60 minutes. After breakfast there is an Admin Meeting. This is for review of the daily matrix and getting all bases covered. It is short, to the point and adequate to cover all things. At times the Program team may head out early or the HL might need to get to the morning Real Life....this meeting is at most 20 minutes. If there are issues that don't pertain to the whole group, they are dealt with at the end. I had 15 assignments in a War Room and now 8 assignments w/o. Both have their benefits. Good luck on your assignment. Here is an email reply I received too…

Worked great! The only issue that could arrise is that work staff meals are generally during that time. noon… almost always works… just do it before lunch… wayyyyyy better… we did it at two weeks of 5 day 9th grade camps while at RockRidge Canyon (YL Canada’s camp) last year.

It was especially nice when it was after a breakfast in bed morning, or after one of the bigger nights like carnival or square dancing.
