Camp Reference Check Script & Scorecard

Reference calls at camps get made in April by whoever is free, and "seemed fine" is what ends up in the file. This workbook is a script you read down the page while on the phone — including the two questions people skip, about being alone with a child and about contact outside program hours — plus a log of every reference reached and a scorecard that rolls it up per candidate. It holds a candidate at "need more references" until two have actually been reached.

  • Nine-question call script with the reason each question is on the list
  • Reference log: who was called, how you found them, and what they said
  • Per-candidate scorecard that flags hedged answers before opening day

Ask the same questions of every candidate for the same role. Consistency is what makes a difference between two references mean something.
