Secrets to successful camp grounds maintenance

By Beth Morrow

There’s far more to successful campground maintenance than keeping the playing fields mowed and the bathhouse pipes clear. If it were only that simple, a few turns of a screwdriver and proper pH level in the pool would be enough to ensure a smooth camp experience.

Behind the scenes, grounds maintenance requires perseverance, a comprehensive knowledge of all things mechanical, electrical and chemical, and an occasional education or training session on new equipment.

 

But the hands-on aspect of grounds maintenance is only one facet of this complex job. Solid manual skills are half the battle; being efficient and productive at myriad tasks is the other. Building interpersonal relationships with clients and co-workers, developing time-management skills, establishing a positive, proactive attitude, and improving effective communication skills deserve as much time and attention as ordering the proper light bulbs for scoreboards. If you (and your crew, if applicable), believe there’s not enough time, talent, money and ability to achieve all these goals or finish every job, let’s look at four ways successful maintenance managers get it all done.
