Campers have the opportunity to choose another area to learn in greater detail while at camp. You will sign up for these when you arrive at camp. Take a look and see what areas will help you and your staff create your dream book.

Electives

Yearbooking for Middle Schools
(2 part elective)- There are MAJOR differences in doing a high school yearbook and a middle school yearbook. This 2 part elective will cover what standards a middle school book must achieve, and share several examples of books so your staff feels like it knows what you expect. We will cover how to get the photos you need, single page layout design, what coverage you should have, and why every page DOES NOT need a background.

Beginning Yearbook
This elective is perfect for the first time yearbook student. They will learn basic terminology, cropping, and standards for every spread they work on. Don’t just turn a new student loose on your book, make sure they have the basics down first.
Basics of Digital Photography
This elective will explain how to set your digital cameras so you can get the best photos out of them. Learn how to set up for sports, inside gyms, and all about resolution. Then we’ll explain how to get those picture onto your layout using Jostens Picture Placer. A must take class for those new to digital imaging.

Adviser Roundtable
You asked for more details from your fellow advisers, so we've got it! Open to all advisers. We'll throw open the floor to cover things you want to know. How do others grade? How do you make all the deadlines? How do you get the staff to sell more ads? How should I interview for staff positions? Come and learn how your colleagues are doing it.

 

Photoshop Cool Tips
For both InDesign and YTO schools, this elective shows you how to do some of the coolest tricks for your book using Adobe Photoshop. You’ll learn how to make a great collage, fix a bad picture, and lots of other cool tricks. Then we’ll show you how to get them onto your document correctly.

Theme Creatives
These are special 50 minute brainstorming sessions that we schedule with our Creative gurus for you and your staff to get special one on one theme developement. You will spend the time creating carefully crafted ways to carry through the theme of your book. When you are done, you will have your cover theme carried throughout your book on division pages, folios, and quick reads. We have a very limited number of appointments available so you must reserve quickly. You MUST have ideas for your theme, cover and ladder. There is an additional $50 charge per school.

Business Manager
There is a new position you should have on your staff. The Business Manager. Staffs should seriously consider having one of these people. You can create the most beautiful book in the world, but if nobody is in charge of marketing and selling it, what's the point? Here you will learn how to set a staff member up for successful sales events, ad sales, and promotion of your prized creation. Don't miss this elective!
