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
