Below are proposal guidelines and specific information about each camp as well as some pointers for developing a successful workshop. This is a critical form of support that we, as a wholly grant-based program, are dependent upon. We encourage interested women to explore this possibility with their employers, and offer support to those who would like us to assist with the negotiations. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis, and the spaces may be filled before the deadline. Please contact WIT to check, and for further information.
Most sessions are one and one-half hours in length.
The workshop should be designed to be very active, hands-on, and result in an individual project at the camp's end that each girl can take home. The final day of camp includes a presentation by the campers and instructors to parents and other guests. Each class is made up of 16 girls. Thus, the instructor teaches the same 8-hour workshop twice during camp, totaling 16 hours of actual classroom time. When submitting your proposal, please indicate how many you would need, and what special skills they need, if any.
