Ericka:
I was working for KidsCamp in the next WordCampWordCampWordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. San Jose Costa Rica, we will have three Workshops.
Robotics workshop, STEAM workshop and Create my first blog on WordPress.comWordPress.comAn online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. https://wordpress.com/
We should work as team to discover the laws that different states/countries have surrounding hosting one day kids events. As well as, the laws surrounding waivers for kids events as well.
This will help expedite camp planning for all camps around the world (eventually).
An example would be that in Florida a very specific liability waiver is needed with specific language. Thank you to @RianKinney, Esq. for digging that up for us.
While that specific waiver is needed for Florida, the need for a waiver could be looked at as an overarching need for ALL camps with kids programs. It would be good for us all to take a region near us so that we can dive into what those laws look like and formulate a general plan that would cover the bulk of those laws. This could include the need for background checks, waivers, first aid certifications, etc.
If you want to help here please sign up on the second tab to take a region.
Project Management Information
So I know a lot of people expressed interest but not everyone made it to todays meeting. I am sure more people will be getting involved over time. I did create a TrelloTrelloProject management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. Board so that we have some jumping off points for anyone to just dive in and start on micro pieces.
@sunsand187 Will Document process for a new camp to vet state laws and requirements. And create the handbook structure. As well as, create spreadsheet.
