Summary

We are still in need of volunteers to participate in helping create content for educators and adults who want to hold Kids Camps. We have all of the documentation, we just need ready and able individuals capable of turning those into a lesson plan or slideshow for narration.

No experience needed for this or the other activities we need assistance with:

  • Research – laws surrounding minors at events globally
  • Writing – arts and crafts documentation, WordPress basics documentation, Parental Resources Documents
  • Video Creation – how-to videos for parents to get involved with their kids, Encouraging Videos for organizers, and videos for educators
  • Editing – grammar, spell check, and general flow proofreaders/editors

We also need anyone who has experience with a Kids Camp to help evaluate our Handbook and offer improvements and edits.

Volunteer Update

We had three volunteers during the meeting and one committed to evaluating the documentation and working on a Google Doc to start the process of organizing the “How to prepare for a Kids Camp” information into a teachable format.

Please feel free to reach out directly if you feel called to assist in expanding the youth education content.
