  7. Testimonials “The information gathered through these professional surveys has provided us with customer satisfaction data for all aspects of the Ramah Wisconsin experience. This valuable information has helped us enhance our program to better meet the needs of our campers and will be a very valuable tool as we develop a strategic plan for the coming decade.” - Dr. Jeff Kopin, President, Camp Ramah in Wisconsin "The survey was incredibly helpful in identifying both areas in which we successfully stand out and areas needing improvement. As a team, my staff was able to utilize the results as a tool to delve deeper into bettering Camp." – Michelle Koplan, Executive Director B'nai B'rith Camp

  11. What We Learned • FJC Camper Satisfaction Insights • While the vast majority (96%) felt very positive about camp, we trended slightly lower on almost all measures across the board. • Camp George End of Summer Staff Survey • Received the best ratings from staff in 5 summers of conducting this survey

  12. The ULTIMATE Question: WHY? And the answer: The lack of information effect! “Camp was great, Mom. I already told you that!”

  13. If it is communication you want, then it is communication you shall receive!
