Abstract

The programmer for Camp Happy Valley, a day camp for children, was wondering what he could do to boost the camp''s morale and improve its organization. Last summer''s disappointing season had resulted in many complaints from staff, campers and parents. Changes would have to be made to ensure that the camp''s upcoming season would be successful. The young programmer must examine several aspects of the camp''s organization in order to assess where change is needed. Staff selection, staff training and remuneration are some of the obvious areas that need attention. Camp morale and overall environment need a major overhaul as well. The programmer must decide how best to use his own leadership style to influence and motivate his staff to bring about the necessary changes.
