february 4th: logistics write-up
We have this section formatted nicely in Word, but, sadly, it is Word
for
Macs. Liz regrets that she remains an oblivious Mac user in a PC-happy world,
and will figure out how to get this into a PC friendly format and conform to
the dominant culture in time to get several bazillion copies of this printed
out for the info session.
Please send us any comments or suggestions that you have on this
section,
and tell us if there's anything we forgot to put in. By the way, Elizabeth
protected the sacred paper very nicely, and you should commend her for this
when you see her.

Dates, Times, and Other Nuts and Bolts
Dates: Monday, June 17 to Sunday, June 23, with an overnight from 9 p.m.
Saturday night until Sunday morning
Times: The program will run daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you are unable to
drop off or pick up your daughter at the campus at these times because of work
or other scheduling conflicts, we can help meet your needs, whether by
arranging car pools or allowing your daughter to come earlier or leave later
than the standard times.
Hold Harmless and Medical Release Forms: Please be sure to read these two forms
carefully, since they explain all liability, insurance, and medical care issues
regarding the program. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have
about these forms.
Day to Day Operations: We plan to offer a range of activities that will both
encourage girls to discover new talents and interests and help them to learn
how to survive and thrive as an adolescent female in today^Òs world.
Our daily schedule will be divided among physical activities such as
self-
defense training and sports played in an environment that stresses learning and
having fun over competition; explorations of skills such as woodworking and web
design that some girls may never have even considered trying before; art and
performance activities, like making tie-dye t-shirts and putting on informal
theater skits; and discussions of stereotypes, self-esteem, and several other
issues which we will talk about more later in this information session.
Cost: Thanks to the generosity of the Swarthmore Foundation in funding CO/
MOTION, the only cost to you is a $20 fee. If this fee presents any financial
difficulties to you, please talk to a CO/MOTION staffer to get it waived.
CO/MOTION will pay for all lunches and snacks during the program.
How to Register: Registration forms should be turned in through campus mail to
Sarah Cohodes. Forms must be in to Sarah by Friday, March 1. Please note that
your answers on the registration form will in no way affect your daughter^Òs
chance of being selected for CO/MOTION. Also, no money should be included with
the registration form. The fee for the program will be paid with enrollment.
From these forms, 16 girls will be randomly selected to participate in the
program. The CO/MOTION staff will notify you whether or not your daughter has
been picked for the program no later than Monday, March 4.
CITS: CO/MOTION will be interviewing high school students who attended SCLP in
order to find 3 counselors in training for the program.
