post your plans for NBTSC 2001 here! 1. Self-Injury Discussion, courtesy of Heather and Eireann. We're thinking, ideally, it should be a small group (ten people or under) for each workshop (around two or three workshops in the course of the week, prolly), in an isolated place, and hopefully as non-triggering as possible. Anyone have further suggestions? 2. Basic Aikido / self-defense. I could really use a co-leader for this one, especially if a large group of people showed up. I would help people learn how to fall without getting hurt, how to break from common grabs, do some basic Aikido techniques. Anyone interested in these?
I'm going to do a workshop in what I've studied most dedicatedly here at massage school the last 8 months: Hackysack! ;-) ~z~ I'm going to do a PoetryMarathon workshop, and go about organizing a Poetry Slam. Depending on how much interest there is in the Slam, we might have enough for a whole tournament! my question is this: should i offer it as a workshop or just start it spur of the moment one night, or.. is there a better way to do it? i can see a Poetry Slam being a very involved, large thing, that might take up more time than just a workshop would. any suggestions? What's everybody think of these ideas? (Quick! I gotta decide and send in my stuff soon!)
And these are ones I'm interested in, but probably would like to attend rather than leading them myself. Anyone want to lead them?
Let me know what sounds interesting! -Emerie
i have no creative ideas for a workshop... what if i "led" a game of hide-and-seek, red rover, freeze tag, duck-duck-goose.. or something like that/alloftheabove? would anyone show?
i was thinking something along the lines of cutting?
what do you think?
yo everybuggy, i was thinking of doing a BitchBox workshop, where we can just talk aboot anything that is bothering us or anything. just whatever. tell me what ya'll thinkies. glitterpixie
has summer ever done a visual journaling workshop? i was looking at it on her website and it looks pretty cool. Hmmmm. BodyImage workshop discussion? Is that a good idea? How about jazz dance? -Emma
cool! good idea do the body image one..or the jazz one they both sound cool
As I usually try to do, I'll attempt to do workshops on 3 of my Very favorite subjects; A Book Discussion (mm hm.) a Religion Discussion (yup) and a Chess Tourney (eh.) ;-). I can never manage to get all three done for some reason though. Also I thought Alex's workshop at session 2 this year titled "The Meaning of Life, etc" was very excellente and I'd do that also if noone else gets to it first ~ Danopian I'm thinking of a spinning workshop. I'm thinking pretty far in advance here, huh? I've got about 11 more months before next years camp. I miss camp. But anyway, a workshop on how to turn fiber into yarn. Anybody interested? Maybe followed by a knitting workshop? I think a chopstick compition or something might be fun too. -Kathleen Hey cool! Spinning was what I did for my workshop the first year I went to camp (watch Tessa get all sentimental). Word of advice, I wasn't expecting many people to come, but about twelve showed up. So you might want to either have people sign up, or have lots and lots of spindles. -Tessa I'll bring a good number of them, but if I don't bring enough, people can make their own. I've heard putting a pencil through a potato works fairly well, and I've seen a drop spindle made out of a dowel and a couple cds. But i should be able to get plenty of drop spindles. :) It'll be fun. -Kathleen
i was thinking of possibly doing a discussion on growing up, since there are so many 'adult' campers. my mom asked me what the 18 year old campers were doing, and i really didn't have much of an answer. traveling... a few people are going to college... looking for internships... getting jobs... so i was thinking of having a discussion of what people are doing or planning or looking forward to, and how. maybe.
or how bout a jumprope contest! see who can jump the most times, who can jump fastest longest, who can do the most tricks, who can run in and out the most consistantly, which team can jump longest... who knows the most stupid jump rope rhymes... :) or maybe an Origami and Paper Crane Making workshop. We could try to make 1000 paper cranes over two weeks and then maybe John and Margaret would let us put them on strings and hang them up in the lodge...
Yes!!! I know what workshop I want to teach next year! I didn't teach one this year, which kind of makes me mad, but I think it was sort of for the best anyway, as I was new and slightly frazzled and overwhelmed, and I just wanted to sort of take in everything with as little pressure for me as possible. OK, but ANYway... I'm going to teach sewing next year!!! I think it will be so incredible. We can have all sorts of cool fabric and patterns, and make whatever we want! I'm very happy and excited about it. The only problem is getting a sewing machine to use at camp, but I suppose that will work itself out... Becky J.
I've got a fairly portable one, but it'd still be a big bother to get it to camp and back. -Kathleen
Yeah...sewing machines are a huge pain to lug around. Maybe I'll just teach a really simple sewing workshop where we all just make a tank top and sew it by hand or something. But then I'd have to get a ton of nice fabric. Or maybe I'll do a sewing slash decorating your clothes workshop...lots of glitter paint, non-washable markers, appliques (sp), jewels, etc., so we can go totally crazy and decorate all of our jeans, skirts, tops, whatever!! ~Becky~
*That would be fun. Very good idea. I'll come! -Kathleen I've been thinking about doing a Clicker Training workshop, but I dunno if anyone would want to attend. Has anyone done a workshop their first year of camp? -Katherine Yes, of course! And are you talking about clicker training, as in for dogs? I do that with my dog, Riley. Too cool! -Robyn Yep, the kind used with dogs is what I'm talking about. It isn't just for dogs, though. I've done it with horses, cats, and donkeys, too. Yay for clickers! -Katherine primitive skills workshop (if I do this, I hope to do it with Scott) tarot/occult workshop scrap book workshop color pencil art(twould be cool)
~Becky~ I need some ideas. I think I'll look through the 2000 archives and see if I get inspired. [1] I believe the proper spelling of that is duck tape. At least here, if not anywhere else in the world. :)
