Leader Sign ups will come out on October 13 as planned. ♪ We appreciate all leaders and co's who do their very best to help grow this growing camp. ♪ This month we are planning for three cabins, each with a leader and 2 cos. ♪ If you would like to help spread the popularity of this camp, it would be a great help if you advertised this project in “advertise-here” studios, whether you’re a leader or not. This /does not/ increase your chances of getting chosen, but it would be a great help for us! ♪ Apps close June 30 ⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰ ❁ Info About Leadership ♪ Tips ♫ Make the application detailed, but not too overloaded with information. Try to make it clear, interactive and creative. If you succeed in these three categories you have a very high chance of getting in. ♫ Be helpful, ask for critique and give to people asking to it. ♫ Be kind, show us your organization skills and if you want a huge chance at getting the position, include links to previous cabins you have co-leaded or leaded in, from this camp or not is fine. ♫ Underline how/why you will be very active - activity is a large part of being a leader. ♫ We're looking for quality, effort, and creativity in applications. ♪ Expectations to be a leader ♫ Be active in your designated forum 5/7 days a week on when you are able (vacations & urgent irl stuff excepted) ♫ If you have, say 2 weeks or more of holidays in April, this position may not be up for you, as activity is crucial to be a leader ♫ Be kind, give helpful feedback to your cabin if you are chosen ♪ Cabin names ♫ We're trying something new for cabin names this session. Leaders will choose their own names- names from songs. You can use the title, or the lyrics of the song to theme your cabin around- but it would still be named after the Title. For example: 'Message in a Bottle' (title based). The theme would around their campers receiving messages in bottles as clues to something. Or 'London Boy' (lyric based) and then visit the places mentioned in the song. ⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰ ❁ FAQ Q: If I get chosen to be a leader, how do I choose my co? A: When we say you can start to decide on co-leaders (in the leader forum), you basically look through /every/ application that hasn’t been accepted as leader and choose on one or two co's. It is /required/ to choose at least one co, due to past instances where cabins had no co-leaders. If you wish to have two co-leaders, please ask a (co)host for permission first. Q: Can I just remix and write my answers in the project/desc without changing much? A: You can, but it will decrease your chances of getting a leadership position. Q: If I want to apply as co from the beginning, what should I do? A: Fill out everything that applies to you and label your app co-leader, not (co)leader. ⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰ ❁ The Application ♪ Unlike most applications, the questions are in the description. This does not mean you have to answer everything in the description- be creative! In fact, we highly ask and recommend that of you :) ♪ There are a few requirements- you must be at least 10 years old to apply, as we are wanting a trustable team, and you must have at least one year of musical experience, seeing as this is a music camp. ♪ Question 1- Tell us about yourself! Please include your nickname, pronouns, timezone (optional), and whether you’re applying for leader, co-leader, or both. ♪ Question 2- Have you ever been in SMC before? If so, in what roles? It’s not required that you’ve been in SMC before! ♪ Question 3- What is your experience with music, Scratch camps, and other leadership positions (whether online or in real life)? ♪ Question 4- What are your cabin ideas? Please include song ideas/cabin themes as well. ♪ Question 5- How much time can you plan on dedicating to SMC this session, and do you have any plans that might interfere? ♪ Question 6- What are your strengths and weaknesses in collaboration? ♪ Question 7- How will you make your campers’ experiences special? ♪ Question 8- Do you understand the expectations of being a (co)leader? If so, please list them below. ♪ Question 9- Which of the below do you agree with? If I am to fall inactive, I’ll notify the hosts and commit all proper measures needed. I will be as active as possible. I understand the requirements and have read through the entire description. ⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
