The Camp Director

Summer Camps have often been slow to adopt new technology.  There are a few reasons for this:

• Many traditional camps focus on getting children outdoors and participating in activities that the cannot normally do at home.
• A large group of the well established camp directors and owners did not grow up with new media and technology.
• Residential camps are often located in areas that have poor internet and cell reception.

There are conferences that can introduce new media to beginners and provide an abundance of resources and supports.  BlogWorld & New Media Expo is one such conference.

Taken from their site:

The 2008 BlogWorld & New Media Expo will take place September 20-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with the exclusive “Executive & Entrepreneur” conference beginning September 19th. The first and only industry-wide tradeshow, conference, and media event dedicated to promoting the dynamic industry of blogging and new media. In addition to the only industry-wide exhibition, BlogWorld features the largest blogging conference in the world including more than 50 seminars, panel discussions and keynotes from iconic personalities on the leading-edge of online technology and internet-savvy business. If you are currently blogging, vlogging, podcasting, producing other forms of new media content, entering the new media industry, or just want to know what the blogosphere is all about, then you need to be at the most comprehensive blogging convention.
