Group energy is great! Folks are proud to be song leaders and enjoy spending time singing and building together.

Kalsman - Lack of Humanpower. Running all of camp music as such a small group will be very challenging. I'll need a lot of support, and I'll need to rely heavily on "non-songleading" staff whom I don't directly supervise.

Our challenge provides us the opportunity to learn and find our own connections with the content of songs and prayers. Our leaders can feel inspired further by their connection to the content.

Kalsman - We have been struggling to add to add songs to our repertoire. The opportunities to teach new songs are few and far between, and we moved Shira outside, so there is no good way to display new words to learn.

I’m concerned about not receiving the support I need from the directors in order to do my job effectively. This doesn’t need to be a conversation here but it’s something I’m worried about.

some returning staff some new, some with large songleading tallent, others who are shy. We will see!!!

I'm concerned about the full time team not supporting my leadership style. They often pressure me to take the mic whenever we have all camp musical moments, while I try to raise up others. This has been an issue in the past and I'm not sure how to talk to them about it in a way that they will listen to.

I dont know yet

The past music director is very different to me and my counterpart. I am worried about the transition in styles and how that will go over.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually hover around the friend boss style, but also supportive and nurturing. I love to hear everyone out and share, and be the person who brings the ideas it together.

The songleaders feel empowered, have learned from their successes and failures, and feel that they are leaving the summer a better songleader than they started as.

The camp community feeling that the music this summer represented who they are and brought them together. Also, if a new song that was introduced makes it to an instagram caption, then the buy in is definitely there!

Kalsman- Our team is small, but we have a back catalogue of highly engaging/challenging music programming for kids. And we both have a very good understanding of the music culture of our camp.

Between the faculty, camp director, staff, there tend to be a lot of cooks in the kitchen and a lot of different people to manage that come in and out.

It's a tradition at OSRUI for much of the Shira we do to be in Hebrew only (not all, but most). We're really lacking in our knowledge and ability to teach the content of our songs and their context, not just the music.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there is a real opportunity for growth in the way they do friday night song session, there are some logistical flaws that make it challenging for them now but I have some ideas of how to fix it.

Camp as a whole feels good about music - they look forward to musical moments and go home humming camp melodies. Each member of my team felt supported and was able to develop and grow their song leading skills.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge is probably creating intentional sacred spaces. Not everything can be super loud lol

# data[].attributes.body
Empowering my team, acting as a guide and not a trip leader (leading them in where they want to go, as opposed to organizing every step for them)

# data[].attributes.body
As a songleading team, we pay attention to one anothers' strengths and are open minded about learning from each team member. We look at our strengths as a team to figure out what we have to work with. Our definition of success is determined uniquely each summer by the skills brought by that summer's team of songleaders.

Im concerned my team wont understand me, or that I am strange from a new camp. Im concerned that It will take a while to get accustomed to their camp minchag, and i wont fit in right away.

Kalsman- Our Shiras go CRAZY hard. We have unbelievable engagement with older age camper groups, and Staff/CITS.

We're a brand new team this year, which I'm seeing as more of a strength and opportunity than a challenge! The three of us have never worked together, and one of us is a first-year staff member. Looking at music with fresh eyes after such a strange 2 summers (virtual and then COVID-safe) feels like it can be beneficial for singing at camp

# data[].attributes.body
Challenge: At least from my time there a while back, "buy in" for more hebrew based songs from the middle years

Opportunity: Making everything we do relevant to their lives! Relevance breeds buy in

# data[].attributes.body
I'm worried about helping my team to enter a growth mindset where they're listening to the group and focusing on how they can be developing their skills. They have so many other responsibilities during the day that they often are just throwing together musical moments as quickly as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Last year was the first year I had a real team. Everyone was SUPER willing and able to jump in and be helpful. Built a lot of trust.

# data[].attributes.body
The needs of the songleading team are often sacrificed when it comes to scheduling, and there's only so much advocacy that can be done before camp to adjust this!

# data[].attributes.body
EXCITEMENT! When the camp loves a song it could shatter your ear drums it's so loud and hyped

# data[].attributes.body
Camp is still too young to have any sort of songleading tradition - creates a lack of unifying factor among the team

# data[].attributes.body
We’re great at communicating and taking on responsibilities! Also we sound great together :)

# data[].attributes.body
Our campers are always excited to learn the next big new melody. We lift up all out unit songleaders in a big way, such that they get to bring themselves and their favorite music to all of camp.

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunity - not a lot of fun, casual singing. Almost all singing happens at a daily t'fillah or at Shabbat song session and is led by folks who were formally hired as song leaders

# data[].attributes.body
Camp sang well all summer long, learned new tunes, had weekly shabbat services, pulled together interesting programing and included every one of all abilities. My staff and I felt supported and loved, challenged, and fulfilled

# data[].attributes.body
A camp full of "musical" people means that they can handle some challenging rep and sing beautifully in harmony

# data[].attributes.body
From what I can tell - musical ability & excitement

# data[].attributes.headline
More iconic camp moments that involve music/singing.

Challenge - lots of kids come to camp without "camp experience" so they often do not know much rep.

Opportunity - the camp loves to sing and is very capable of beautiful harmonies. etc.

Challenge - very limited time (at all 6 points camps) for teaching

# data[].attributes.body
Spirited singing - so much ruach!
