Whether you are a seasoned operator with years of experience or are new to building parks, everyone is guaranteed to gain something from the program. 

One camper summed up his week-long experience in 2022 thusly: "Camp was extremely helpful. I feel like I am a part of something bigger than my job at my resort. As a manager, I feel excited to pass on what I’ve learned and experienced at Camp to others.” 

Said another: “My time at Cutter’s Camp opened my eyes to what I didn’t know, affirmed what I did, and allowed me to network with the best in the industry.”
