hello hello hello people of planet earth! welcome to src's august 2022 camper applications! i am so excited to be returning to src for a fifth (?) session!! (press the flag for music :] and if you judge the music my heart will break) - now, before we get into the actual applications, i would like you to read the faq, even if you've participated in src before, as some things may have changed since last time. q: what is scratch reading camp? a: scratch reading camp, more commonly named src, is a triannual reading camp that is fully online / on scratch! the three sessions take place in april, august, and december. during camp, you read, count your pages, participate in various activities, and compete with other cabins! there are five (or more, depending on how many campers we get) cabins, with genres chosen by the counselors and co-counselors. in order to earn points, you complete dailies, weeklies, discussion questions, and more! most of the activities include reading, which will also contribute to points at the end of camp! (one page = one point) q: how do i get to camp? a: it's simple! log onto scratch, find your cabin or the main cabin (you will be invited to curate your cabin, and in the cabin there will be a main cabin link), and comment that you read x amount of pages (your cabin) or completed an activity (your cabin for in-cabin activities, main cabin or main cabin ones). that's it! no information, no nothing. q: what do i do?? how am i sorted? a: in order to sign up, fill out the form (down below). during camp, you may complete optional activities to gain points for your cabin! you're going to be sorted into your cabin by page goal, requested counselor, time zone, and more. q: what's a good page goal for first-timers? a: a good starting page goal is around 500-1,000 pages. q: i'm worried about how original this is. in the past, there have been originality and credit issues with swc. have you sorted these out, because i don't really want to join if they haven't, but i want to join so badly- a: yes, there have been issues in the past, but that was around a year ago, we have fixed everything and there should be no issues with us and swc. december and april both went smoothly with no credit-related issues. we have added credit and are slowly working on making our camp more original. q: who are the counselors? a: mythology kingdom : @french-toastt (), mystery patisserie : , psychological barren : , dystopian drive : , adventure ark : /, fan-fi facility : , q: what do the cabin genres/names mean? a: pretty much nothing! they just mean a storyline for the cabin or description to follow and helps with themes, matching pfp ideas, and much more! if you want to read a specific genre you do NOT have to join that cabin! choose by the counselors :) - sign-up form 1 . username . without @ please 2 . timezone . it's okay if you don't want to share, just for sorting purposes it's helpful <3 3 . page goal . as written before, a good beginner page goal is 750-1k pages. the original page goal/page cap is 10,000 pages. however you are allowed to go above as long as you run it by your counselor (giving them proof you read that much and are going to read more), they will run it by the hosts and get back to you on that. p l e a s e do not say 10,000 as your page goal unless you are totally confident you will hit it, for sorting purposes. thanks!! <3 4 . activity level . how active will you be during august? please answer with one of the following: very active, semi-active, not very active, once or twice if you have something big like camp or vacation and you are willing to share please do for sorting purposes! 5 . counselor preference . who do you want to be your counselor or co-counselor? please say the @ of the counselor, co counselor, or the cabin name! don't use nicknames for now please so it's easier for us to sort <3 also if you don't have a preference say "no preference" 6 . profile comments . if your profile comments are turned off, where would you like us to notify you? a project? studio? please link or specify otherwise!! note : please be flexible! if you don't get the cabin you wanted, that's okay. we are all trying to get everyone in their desired cabin, please bear with us! <3 camper applications close on july 23rd for sorting and backups will open on august 3rd! thank you to all our wonderful leaders, co-leaders, hosts, and campers for making src possible <333 - credits (this session's hosts) all past src hosts <3 all past and present swc hosts swc this session's wonderful leaders and co-leaders <333 canva for thumbnail anson seabra - welcome to wonderland ajr - livin on love (if you make fun of these songs you will break my heart these songs are my soul and my life don't even)
