We got the AFY handbook as a guideline for our own program. We will be working on creating our own. People took sections to alter to fit our camp, and we should be getting that together soon.

On their applications, we want students to sign up for the classes they want so we can put them in groups before they even arrive, so the camp can start smoothly.

We will be putting together a Gold and silver member list to see who we will actually have for the camp.

the fliers were passed out for the Highschool students at thier one act competition.

in order to get students excided for the camp, we want to post personal profiles on twitter and facebook so they can get to know us. Once we have the approved curriculum, we want to post that too so they know what to expect.

we want to push to make the practicum on how to teach be next semester. we need to make a proposal for it to get it approved. in order to do this we should talk to Bro. Clifford.

Amanda is our new Treasurer.

This Thanksgiving break: a general overview of a day in the camp run though to be held on Monday.

Talk to Bro. Linton to see what we need to do in order to get posters up.

We also need to figure out who the session director is. is it one of us, or a professor?

We need to start preparing for advertising.
we want to take pictures of mock workshops to show action. we set up a twitter account and facebook group. we want to put a little money into the facebook group to get it advertised to students who would be interested based on what is said on their facebook pages. As soon as we get the green light to go, we'll have a flood of stuff going out to get people interested.

we also want to start a youtube account and make promotional videos for the camp. this will include clips of what they will be able to expect: the facilities, make up, sound, lights, acting/ directing, as well as our comments about the camp and how we feel about it.

in order to prepare for the camp we need to do a walk though of a day in our schedule so we can anticipate problems, before the actual camp starts.

Bro. Linton went to a Dept. meeting to talk to faculty in order to help get their support.
next step: keep communicating with them.

we NEED to : revise proposal
come up with curriculum (we started working on that on Tues.)

Lesson plans: what is the core? what is too basic? what is too advanced?
*we need to have back up in case what we are teaching is too basic for them.
-come up with 3-5 objectives for the week.-bold principles to focus on.

-we want to get a work shop for us on how to teach high school theater, before camp.
-Practicum- assessment process to have us practice these skills before the camp.

-The department wants us to keep notes on our meetings for them.

ADVERTISE TO FRESHMEN!!!

-Liability insurance: If there is damage by students they become responsible for it. make sure there are competent teachers teaching the students so they don't mess up.
-we also need to remember to spell out what the students can use as camp participants, and what we can use as instructors.

**Idea: only have 2 weeks of camp for this first summer with one week in between to evaluate the camp, and work on modifying any imperfections from the 1st camp. this will help us to provide a more perfected camp in years to come.
