Thursday Meeting
Brother Linton suggested a “3 Pronged” strategy approach for accomplishing our goals for the camp. They are:
1. Write a “front page story.” This would be an article that includes the telling of how the camp was conceived, how it is currently developing, how long it has been in the process, our vision of what it is, what it will be and what it is becoming, etc. There will be a bullet point list of secular and spiritual aspects of the camp.
a. Secular:
i. The participant will gain experiences at the camp that are specialized in technical theatre and acting.
ii. They will have contact with college students who maintain high moral standards.
iii. This experience will help persuade the participant to pursue a higher education.
iv. The camp will help the participant more fully understand what they want to do with their future lives.
v. There will be positive social interactions with peers.
vi. The camp will be teaching life skills such as team work, communication, stage presence and cooperation.
vii. The camp is being run and taught by college students who are optimistic, knowledgeable and passionate about theatre.
b. Spiritual:
i. The participant will be taught the harmony between theatre and morals.
ii. When the participant is building their talents they are worshiping God.
iii. The participant will have Sundays off.
iv. They will see how it is possible to hold fast to ones morals while actively participating in theatre.
v. There will be daily uplifting morning devotional.
vi. The use of wholesome scripts.
vii. There will be no drugs or alcohol.
viii. The participants will have to adhere to the BYU-Idaho Honor Code which includes modest clothing, curfew, etc.
2. Employing excellent counselors. This is extremely important because the counselors set the attitude of the camp and are responsible for the well being of the participant. Bro. Linton said that the content is secondary to how the participant feels about the camp and themselves.
a. Applications for the theatre camp are currently being received.
b. We’ve decided that paying the teachers as well as the counselors will ensure better quality of commitment and performance for those who are employed.
3. Faculty involvement. There needs to be an outline dedicated specifically to how the faculty can help the camp and to what degree does the faculty want to be involved.
