"To the man who only has a hammer in the toolkit, every problem looks like a nail."
-Abraham Maslow
  • Beware the consultant who can help you with whatever it may be you might need
  • The wise camp person understands that s/he doesn’t have sufficient competency in every area, and seeks outside expertise. Similarly, the wise consultant understands this and refers out to others

“Why advertise other consultants?”

  1. Vision Realization Consulting hopes that camps will make use of outside expertise to
    improve the outcomes for both campers and staff.
  2. VRC has a both a limited knowledge base (as all consultants do) and a limited amount
    of time.
  3. An informed consumer with options will make a better choice, and ultimately better
    serve all clients.
