Matt Wilfrid
Keynote Speaker
Coordinator - Canadian Camping Association
Consultant and Executive Producer of Podcasts - Go Camp Pro
A passionate supporter of transformative community programs, backed by a strong record of elevating teams and refining operational processes in both educational and non-profit settings.
I believe that every child, youth and adult should have access to a community and a program that changes their life for the better. Growing up and working in the summer camp industry shaped who I am, the community I've found and gave me a set of tools that I use every single day.
Through team leadership, mentorship and experiential education, I help individuals and organizations approach their programs and processes with intentionality, inclusiveness and a person-centred lens.
