JWC Leader Applications 2024 ━ ━ ━ ❀ ⋮ Introduction IMPORTANT: Please read through both the instructions and notes and credits to fully understand everything :D Hello and welcome! This is the leader app for the third session of JWC (3 is the magic number in books, right? We must have good luck on our side this session!) JWC is an annual writing camp on scratch. Campers make a word goal for themselves to reach during the month, and there are daily and weekly activities that you can do to earn points. Campers are sorted into cabins, and they compete to earn the most points for their cabin by the end of the session. The camp runs in UTC time from January 1st to January 31st. These are the cabins for this session! ❀ ⋮ Cabins ⟹ Astronaut Cabin (Sci-fi) ⟹ Spy Cabin (Dystopian) ⟹ Harlequin Cabin (Drama) ⟹ Fairy Cabin (Fantasy) ⟹ Victorian Cabin (Hi-Fi) ⟹ Aviator Cabin (Steampunk) There are “sibling” cabins that are used for cabin wars. Cabin wars are an activity where cabins launch writing challenges at other cabins. Siblings are cabins that generally work together and don't “war” each other. There aren't rules for this, however. Cabins can choose to war their siblings if the leaders decide they want to. There are also enemy cabins. Enemy cabins generally attack each other during cabin wars, but again, it is up to the (co)leaders of each cabin what their strategy is. The rest of the cabins are neutrals. Here are the cabin relationships: ⟹ Astronaut Cabin (Sci-fi) . . . Sibling: Harlequin Cabin (Drama) . . . Enemy: Fairy Cabin (Fantasy) ⟹ Aviator Cabin (Steampunk) . . . Sibling: Fairy Cabin (Fantasy) . . . Enemy: Victorian Cabin (Hi-fi) ⟹ Harlequin Cabin (Drama) . . . Sibling: Astronaut Cabin (Sci-fi) . . . Enemy: Spy Cabin (Dystopian) ⟹ Fairy Cabin (Fantasy) . . .

❀ ⋮ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ⟹ What do (co)leaders do? (Co)leaders are in charge of a cabin, and they add words for campers. The difference between leaders and co-leaders is that leaders have more responsibility. Leaders add points in the main cabin, and they may be making more decisions. Co-leaders help set up their cabin with the leader they are paired with, and they answer questions for campers. ⠀⟹ Can I apply for leader and co-leader? Yep! If you apply for leader, you can be chosen to lead a cabin OR if you are not chosen to lead, you will automatically be an applicant for co-leader. But if you apply as a co-leader, you can only be picked as a co. ⟹ How are (co)leaders chosen? Leaders will be chosen by the hosts based mostly on your answers to the questions, but also on design and creativity. We will decide which cabins each leader is in charge of, and leaders will be notified by us if they are chosen. Co-leaders are chosen by the leaders. Leaders have to ask if a co would like to lead with them, and cos can say yes or no. Leaders can only choose one co (unless an exception occurs), and there will be a list of suggested co-leaders to choose from, although those are simply suggestions. → How often do I have to participate in activities? There's no requirement for how often (co)leaders or campers participate in activities. However, (co)leaders are expected to come online at least once every day to help with their cabin. ⟹ Where do (co)leaders discuss things? There will be a discussion forum made by the hosts where the leaders can discuss camp-related things. Normally, (co)leaders communicate with their partner in a separate forum for their cabin planning, but it is up to each leader where they talk about their cabin planning. ⟹ What types of writing count towards my word goal? - Creative writing - Songwriting - Essays - School Assignments - Journaling - Roleplaying - Reports Each word you write during camp counts as one point for your cabin. Feel free to ask if other types of writing count towards your goal. ⟹ Do I have to write in my cabin's genre? No! It's just a name. You can write in whatever genre you like. ⟹ What is the competitive aspect? Cabins compete to see who can earn the most points by the end of the session. Campers work as a team in their cabin to gain the most points, and it is a friendly competition. The winners win bragging rights. ⟹ What if there is a problem between me and another scratcher in camp? Let one of the hosts know right away in a discreet place. We will try to help you with it as soon as we can. ⟹ How do I apply? Remix this project with your answers to apply. ⟹ When do the leader signups close? They close on October 27th at 11:59 p.m. UTC time. To apply, submit your app before that time. ⟹ When are co/leaders chosen? Leaders are chosen after the leader signups close. The leader results will be after a few days. Co-leaders are chosen after the leader results have been given. Leaders will be able to offer to cos as soon as they are notified that they are leading. Cos MUST WAIT 10 HRS before accepting an offer to see what offers they are given. Leaders can only offer to one co-leader unless they are declined, they can then ask someone else. All cos must be finalized on November 7th at 11:59 p.m. UTC time. Feel free to ask any questions you have! We'll try to answer soon. ❀ ⋮ Conclusion If you would like to be notified for camper signups, you can ask to be notified in the comments below. Good luck and remember to have fun! We can't wait to see what you come up with. <33 → What is different about JWC compared to SWC? JWC is a smaller community so everyone gets to know each other and bond on a deeper level. We also have a few different activities and events. We have a mix of dailies that focus on improving your writing and learning new things. We also showcase campers' writing and update it regularly. Plus, we also have an activity called Writing Fight, which is like Art Fight! We're also doing the Live Results again so we can hang out and play games together one last time. <3 You'll see other things as well that are different. Those are just a few things we do that make JWC unique. ❀ ⋮ Credits - @lady_noir01 for creating the initial idea of JWC - @Dawn_Camps for hosting the first session - All previous leaders for contributing to JWC - @Piper_Camps, @iinspirqtion and @Eeveedonut for hosting this session. - (G)hosts @school4girlhd and @Dawn_Camps for contributing so much to this camp! - @school4girlhd for writing this description and FAQ with some ideas from SAC and SWC (revised slightly by Dawn and Em) - @iinspirqtion for making the slides - SWC for inspiration
