Frequently Asked Questions - Teacher Facilitators

Can I co-teach a camp?  Can two or more teachers work together on a camp?
We think this is a great idea, however, our ability to fund camps is limited.  One or more teachers can co-teach a camp, if they are both willing to split the payment for the camp.

Will you help me develop my idea for an Ignite Camp?
We would love to!  We've been doing this kind of work for years now and have experience in writing camp descriptions, conference proposals, etc.  We'll help you take your rough idea and polish it into a fantastic camp proposal!

Will you help me market my Ignite Camp?
Absolutely!  The best way to fill your camp is to recruit students with whom you've already built a relationship.  However, we'll be promoting your camp through our website and through district social media, too!

Can the district help me with supply costs?
Our funding is very limited as most of our funds go to support our teacher-facilitators to offer as many camps as possible.  It is possible that we might help cover some costs of materials, though that must be approved in advanced at the district level.

Can I run the camp at my school in my classroom?
Yes!  In fact, that's what we typically encourage.  Of course, you must coordinate this with your principal, agreeing on camp dates (there should be an administrator in the building during your camp), room, and other details.

What is the minimum number of students needed for my camp to happen?
To be as cost-effective as possible, we require that each camp have at least ten students signed up prior to the end of the registration period.  Once we reach that number, we'll let you know.
