The networking that is done at the school is extremely valuable. You can’t get that anywhere else. My first year I was a little overwhelmed because I had just started in the camping industry. We were a new park and it did help me get thru it. The second year everything made a lot more sense. I know this year I will be able to implement more of what I learned. - Beth Horan, Manager, Sunny Brook RV Resort
