Strategic Planning Is Underway!
In October of 2021, the Board of Trustees affirmed the launch of a visioning and strategic planning process for North Country School and Camp Treetops. This endeavor will bring our community together to discuss Camp and School’s future in order to continue and build upon our meaningful programs.
Over the course of the next year, every member of the North Country School and Camp Treetops community will be invited to engage in important conversations. These conversations will take many forms, including one-on-one interviews, group discussions, and online surveys. As an important component of these conversations, we will continue to tap into the wisdom of our alumni, families, and community. This initiative will be highly inclusive, and to that end, we have chosen Mission Minded (Mission-Minded.com), a firm with deep experience helping independent schools and nonprofits shape their futures and strengthen their brands, as our partner in this important work. You’re invited to participate; our door is always open.
