GTP Helps Keep Kids Safe at Local Summer Camp

GTP tries to give back to the community in many ways, one of which is by donating equipment and expertise to local non-profits.


Earlier this year, Setebaid Services, a group that runs sleep-away summer camps for youth with diabetes, approached Camp Swatara, a local summer camp, with a question: instead of waking campers twice a night to check blood sugar levels, could an existing network be expanded to cover 11 additional buildings quickly and affordably?

GTP has long worked with Camp Swatara in a variety of capacities.  In this case, we helped build out their existing wireless network using several boxes of network equipment that GTP was no longer using.  Through GTP's donation of equipment, Nuvera Life Science Consulting and Setebaid Services were able to remotely monitor the glucose levels of their campers overnight, eliminating the need to wake most of them and catching potentially life-threatening hypoglycemia before what would have been scheduled nighttime checks.

Every person on GTP's team takes knowledge they've gained on-the-job and applies it in ways that strengthen their community.  How have you used what you've learned at GTP to help others?

Partnering to Create Special Memories

We had a great opportunity to work with Hershey’s Chocolate World’s Guest Service Team and Manager, Roger Sansoni, to create a lasting memory for a special family. “A guest, Dan Adamson, reached out to Hershey’s Chocolate World a few weeks ago wanting to “re-propose” to his wife of 12 years (Heather) on our Chocolate Making Tour Ride. As Dan explained to me, his family had suffered the loss of their home and all of their family’s belongings in a devastating house fire late last year and was looking to create some new memories here at Hershey’s Chocolate World - one of their family’s favorite destinations. Additionally, Dan was really hoping that we could somehow display a picture of him proposing to Heather on the digital photo wall inside of our Chocolate Making Tour Ride while he surprised her with a new engagement ring.” - Roger Sansoni, Mgr, Guest Experience GTP’s, Justine McCarty and Felicia Metze gladly assisted with the plan to surprise Dan’s wife.

Cultural Connections: Learning Opportunity

T ypically, students who participate in the exchange program work for one season. This past year one student, Anderson, decided to return for a second-year because he enjoyed it so much, and since he did such an impressive job in his first year, we were able to promote him to a Team Leader upon his return! His knowledge and experience were incredibly helpful throughout the training of all the new students this year.  He knew the best way to explain procedures and what to say to guests that helped to bridge the language barrier.  This also helped make everyone feel comfortable with asking questions, bringing up suggestions, and a part of the GTP family. At the end of the summer, we asked Anderson to write a little bit about his experiences here in American: "Even during 21st century there are still a lot of misunderstandings occurring in different countries due to different culture routines. But GTP Corp which cooperate with culture exchange institution supply opportunit
