Welcome to our first ever season of Scratch Collaboration Camp, August-September 2025! We're exited to have you here and are hoping to be able to make this camp one of the best yet on scratch. If you're interested in joining this camp, or would like to know what it is, please read this description, and then feel free to sign up! ------------------------------------------- Scratch Collaboration Camp is a "camp" that will take place over the course of two months, during which time people of all kinds of skill sets will divide into cabins and work together to make a game. Everyone will register with a skill. This is an ability you have that will be useful in creating a game. There are 5 skills, and we'll try to have an approximately equal amount of each in each cabin: Coding, Art, Writing/Story, Music/Composition, and Specialty (a catch-all term for any skill not listed here, such as Animation, Voice Acting, Sound Effects Design, etc.). This skill will make up the bulk of what you do during camp (for example, people who register as music/composition will mostly be writing original music) but will also be able to try other things out; however, YOU MAY ONLY REGISTER WITH ONE SKILL, regardless of how multi-talented you are. At the start of camp (the 1st of august), you will be assigned a cabin. There will be 5-6 cabins, depending on how many signups we get, and you can find our different cabins in the notes and credits. Your cabin will be your closest companions, and your team, during camp. With them, you will work together to combine your skill sets and make a massive game on scratch with your cabin theme. A few days before the end of camp, everyone will release their games, and you'll be able to play all of them and vote for which you think is the best one - whoever wins, combined with whoever has the most points from camp activities, will decide the winner of the competition. Each cabin will have a cabin leader who will guide you. SCC is governed by your host (@primosaur), and below them, the Council of Leaders (CoL). This is a group consisting of all the cabin leaders in SCC: @primosaur, @chrysaorajellyfish, , , and . All the leaders have different skills (except for two who might share one), and along with being in charge of their camp, they will be to some extent in charge of a skill, making events for that skill and helping them out with SCC. If you ever have a question, suggestion, request, or anything you would like the people in charge to know, ask your cabin leader (or your skill leader, if the cabin leader hasn't responded after a few days) and they'll forward it to the CoL. ------------------ To sign up for camp, just fill out the signup form below in the comments! A cabin leader will let you know when your signup has been counted. 1. Name (not username, what we should call you) 2. Pronouns 3. Skill (if Specialty, clarify what) 4. How active will you be? Please let us know if there are any days you won't be able to check scratch or work on the game. 5. How did you hear about us? 6. Do you agree to be respectful to all SCC users, and follow all SCC rules? 7. Please provide a link to example of your skill. Here's an example: 1. Bob || 2. He/Him || 3. Specialty (I'm a voice actor) || 4. I'll be gone every friday - otherwise, I'll be fairly active. || 5. A cabin leader is a friend of mine, who told me about it. || 6. Yes. || 7. I voice-acted the orange haired man in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Unfortunately, we cannot take cabin requests as we have too few cabins for it to be practical. You might have to split this over multiple comments. Please be respectful to all regardless of pronouns and keep in mind that enbyphobia will result in an instant and irrevocable ban from SCC. ------------------- We reserve the right to deny anyone access to camp. Don't worry about this as the vast majority of people will get in - however, people will generally be denied for one of the following 3 reasons: 1. They are a specialty who's skill does not involve creativity and will not contribute a lot to the game. (For example, anyone who's skill is "marketing" will be denied). 2. They have never tried their skill, or are horribly bad at it, to the point where it's useless. We'll be very, very lax about this, but if someone is say, art, and submits a lopsided stick figure drawn in crayon as their example, they will be denied entry. 3. They will be too inactive to contribute much. Generally speaking, if someone will be gone for more than half the time of camp (i.e. they'll be on a vacation without internet for all of August) then they'll be denied. If you're worried you'll be denied, apply anyway just in case - we'll let you know if you are denied or accepted fairly quickly. ------------------------ Thank you all for signing up and reading this far! We look forward to seeing you at camp.
------CABIN LIST------ (note: this was not written using AI, descriptions are temporary) ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS: (Leader: @ChrysaoraJellyfish) Travel back into a long-gone world in Ancient Civilizations! Hop into your time machine, because we'll be working to make a game set far in the past. Whether it's a quest across Qin China, a battle game in Babylon, or whatever else you can think of, you'll improve your abilities, show your creative side, and build a community to last long into the time when this version of scratch is considered “ancient”. FIRE AND ICE: (Leader: @primosaur) Welcome to fire and ice, a cabin of pivotal extremes and transforming temperatures! Our cabin will work together to make a game set in a realm of flames or a realm of frost - or perhaps a combination of the two. Make friends and collaborate, build our game, and hone your skills while having fun - that is, if hypothermia and heatstroke don't get you first. MEDIEVAL KINGDOM/FANTASY: (Leader: @ChueyTheCat) Have a magical experience in Medieval Kingdoms/Fantasy, where you can work with others to help build a game in a world of dragons, wizards and knights in shining armor. Whether you're a coder, artist, writer, musician, or something else entirely, you can combine your efforts and perfect your abilities to produce a game to rival all the others in the camp. Make friends, build community, and enjoy collaborating! OCEAN: (Leader: @userwithausername) In Ocean, sail the seven seas and dive into both vast waters and game design. While you connect with others, you'll learn the skills of collaboration, and build a game that will take it's players into the waves that cover more than half of the planet. Not only that, you'll get to grow your strengths, work with others, and go deep into fun. SPACE: (Leader: @BrilliantStar14) Welcome to Space, a cabin that is (as the overused cliche goes) out of this world! While you combine your unique talents with those of others and create important connections, you'll create a game that will bridge planets and stars, and form a universe of delight! Not only that, you'll develop your talents and demonstrate your creativity, while participating in challenges and working with your team. SUPERHERO: (Leader: To Be Decided) Description Pending Superhero is a backup cabin. This means that if we decide to have only 5 cabins, it will not be available and it's leader, will not lead a cabin, although they will remain a part of the council of leaders.
