Camp Tecumseh Strategic Planning Survey
 

1. Survey Questionnaire

 
 50% 
May 2010

All of us involved with Camp Tecumseh value the history and tradition of the camp. In order to balance that history with the social norms of today and into the future, the Trustees believe it is vitally important to get feedback from families of campers, current campers, counselors, and staff members as well as former campers, counselors, and staff members. Your collective input will help us develop a fuller, more impactful strategic plan to ensure that Tecumseh remains as meaningful today and tomorrow as it has been since 1903.

Please take a few minutes to respond to the brief survey questionnaire that has been prepared to assist our strategic planning process. It is important that you complete and submit the survey questionnaire by May 31, 2010. We assure you of the confidentiality of your responses. Many of the questions allow for you to provide additional comments. We expect that a summary report of the strategic planning survey will be posted on the Tecumseh web site after the responses are tabulated later this summer.

We believe Tecumseh is deserving of a few minutes of your time to help keep the camp a distinctive place that "makes good boys better." To that end, thank you in advance for your time and thoughtfulness.

Chair, Board of Trustees
