The Pod System: All campers will be part of a Pod. There are 6 pods, each with its own thematic provocation and facilitator (known as Pod-Heads). (Please rank your pod-preferences on your applications!)
Pod-Heads will guide the pod’s work in an emergent, collaborative way. Enough structure will support learning together, while enough looseness will allow for creativity, spontaneity, and camper-led contributions, too.
Pod sessions might include: field trips, water or land-based experiments, local research sessions, reading group sessions, conversation, skills-exchanges, banner making, swimming, kayaking, filming, collaborative writing sessions, gathering documentation, and so on. Pod sessions may also be partly or even primarily about giving campers time to work independently on something, coming together at intervals to exchange and share. The degree and kind of collaboration each Pod undertakes will be determined by the Pod.
By the end of the week something will have emerged from each pod, that will be shared in some way at the public symposium on the last day of Camp.
