CLASS PROPOSALS

• Submit class proposals for the number of days available to teach.

CLASS TITLES, LIMITS, DESCRIPTIONS, IMAGES OF PROJECTS

• Class Titles: Descriptive, very brief, interesting, catchy and fun to capture the campers’ attention and sell your class ideas. Many parents and students actually go through a negotiating process over class selections, so give them some attractive choices. If you have tried-and-true classes and/or their variations that have been popular in the past (before last year), these are acceptable as replays.
• Limits: Preferred class size/age range depending on level of challenge/tools used.
• Class Description: Brief (100 words or less)  for each Class Proposal
• Submit an image of proposed class project.

SAMPLES OF PROJECTS

• Deliver samples of proposed class projects by June 26 before or at Teacher Materials/Equipment check in Pottery House.

MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT

• A budget of approximately $50 per class is available based on a class of 10.
• List all materials/equipment needed based on a per student ratio that assures adequate purchase of quantities.
• Materials donations are always welcome!
• Identify any equipment needed for each class, i.e., microwave, oven et cetera.

INTERNS/AIDES/SCHOLARSHIPS

• Volunteer Interns and paid Aides are available, on a limited basis, if needed.
• Some scholarships are available with teacher recommendations. On a greatest need basis, these are distributed 1 to 1: one scholarship may be received when one paid class is taken.
