2013  Cinematography  Experience

Parent’s  Guide

Dear  Campers  and  Parents,   Welcome  to  Camp  Josepho,  where  technology  and  the  arts  intersect  in  Scou=ng!  We  are  thrilled  to  host  you  this  year  as  we  expand  our  programs  into  some  of  the  areas  of  greatest  interest  and  poten=al  for  young  men  today.  Camp  Josepho  enjoys  the  remote  solitude  of  the  outdoors,  but  it  is  only  minutes  from  the  entertainment  and  technology  hubs  in  Santa  Monica  and  Hollywood.  This  proximity  has  allowed  us  to  create  programs  that  immerse  Scouts  in  these  fields  with  prac=cal  hands-­‐on  experience  and  unforgeHable  fun.  

  The  Cinematography  Experience  is  a  fully-­‐immersive  four-­‐day,  three-­‐night  resident  camp  that  combines  the  requirements  for  the  Cinematography,  Communica=ons,  and  Theater  Merit  Badges  in  a  seamless  camp  experience.  Scouts  will  make  their  own  films,  build  sets,  write  scripts,  plan  produc=on,  ligh=ng,  edi=ng,  storyboarding  and  ac=ng  using  equipment  that  they  can  access  in  their  own  homes  and  schools.  Campers  work  directly  with  industry  professionals  in  hands  on  demonstra=ons  and  ac=vi=es.  Last  year  we  had  directors,  producers,  writers,  editors,  Foley  ar=sts,  actors,  makeup  ar=sts  and  crea=ve  execu=ves  join  us  as  volunteers  at  camp  to  lend  their  unique  perspec=ves  from  produc=ons  like  Transformers,  The  Dark  Knight,  The  Matrix,  Wreck-­‐it  Ralph,  Cats  and  Dogs,  Unknown,  Gangster  Squad,  and  Incep=on,  to  name  just  a  few.

  This  guide  should  answer  your  ques=ons  about  what  to  bring,  how  the  program  works,  and  your  camp  schedule.  This  camp  is  not  like  a  tradi=onal  Boy  Scout  summer  camp,  where  Scouts  aHend  as  a  troop  and  par=cipate  in  all  their  ac=vi=es  as  a  unit.  Rather,  we  hope  that  any  Scout  who  shares  an  interest  in  the  field  will  come  whether  or  not  his  troop  aHends.  There  are  links  to  the  BSA  Medical  Form,  which  you  should  print  up  and  bring  with  you  to  camp  on  the  first  day,  as  well  as  Special  Diet  form,  which  you  can  submit  electronically,  and  Talent  release  form  (especially  important  for  this  camp!).  Please  take  the  =me  to  make  sure  that  each  form  is  filled  out  completely  and  correctly  to  be  submiHed  during  check-­‐in  on  the  first  day  of  camp.

If  you  have  any  ques=ons,  please  do  not  hesitate  to  call  Travis  Barnes  at  818-­‐785-­‐8700x181.  See  you  at  the  movies!

Sincerely,

Getting  To  CampDriving

Camp  Josepho  is  located  at  3000  Rus=c  Canyon  Rd,  Pacific  Palisades,  CA  90272.

From  Sunset  Boulevard,  turn  north  on  Capri  Drive.  You  will  get  to  a  round-­‐about.  Take  it  around  un=l  you  find  Capri  Drive  again,  it  will  be  a  near  straight  con=nua=on.  Stay  on  Capri  Drive  un=l  the  end  and  turn  lea  onto  Casale  Road.  Casale  will  curve  around  the  hill  and  turn  into  a  dirt  road.

Josepho’s  main  road  into  camp  is  considered  a  “Fire  Road”  and  is  open  to  hikers  and  bikers,  as  well  as  the  normal  flow  of  traffic.  Most  areas  of  the  road  are  one-­‐lane  and  this  makes  driving  safely  extremely  important.  THE  SPEED  LIMIT  ON  THE  ROAD  IS  5MPH.  Please,  be  aware  of  the  other  traffic  on  the  roads  and  we  suggest  carpooling  to  limit  the  number  of  vehicles  coming  into  camp.  When  confron=ng  another  

vehicle  going  the  opposite  direc=on,  be  advised  there  are  narrow  shoulders  to  allow  the  cars  to  pass  but  take  your  =me.  We  will  aHempt  to  limit  this  difficulty  by  assigning  =mes  to  enter  and  exit  camp,  so  please  enter  during  the  assigned  enter  =mes  and  wait  to  leave  un=l  the  assigned  exit  =me  to  reduce  conges=on.  The  enter  ?mes  are  from  12:00pm-­‐12:45pm  and  the  exit  ?me  is  1:00pm  on  the  first  day  of  camp.

The  Front  Gate  requires  a  numerical  code  to  allow  access.  This  code  will  be  given  at  the  June  pre-­‐camp  leader’s  mee=ng  and  another  reminder  will  be  sent  shortly  before  arriving  to  camp.  Be  sure  to  give  this  code  to  any  drivers  with  your  Troop  who  will  be  aHending.

Parking

In  accordance  with  BSA  policy  and  safety  regula=ons,  PERSONAL  VEHICLES  ARE  NEVER  PERMITTED  IN  CAMP  BEYOND  THE  DESIGNATED  PARKING  AREA.  However,  a  handicap  accessible  pass  will  be  provided  upon  request  at  the  clerk  staff  desk.  The  parking  lot  is  clearly  marked  and  just  inside  the  camp  entrance.  Be  sure  to  always  follow  the  instruc=ons  given  at  camp  while  parking  and  back-­‐in  your  vehicle  to  comply  with  the  fire  code.  Only  emergency  and  maintenance  vehicles  will  be  allowed  to  park  outside  of  the  designated  parking  area  and  all  others  will  be  immediately  towed.  The  camp  staff  will  help  haul  gear  to  your  campsite  upon  arrival  to  camp.  This  policy  is  for  the  safety  of  all  campers.  Please  make  sure  parents  who  might  be  visi=ng  camp  during  the  week  are  aware  of  this  important  policy.  We  appreciate  your  coopera=on  in  parking  only  in  designated  areas.

Check-­‐In  Procedures

Our  friendly  staff  will  greet  you  as  you  arrive  in  the  parking  lot  and  assist  you  with  the  check-­‐in  procedures.  Check-­‐in  begins  at  12:00pm  on  the  first  day.  Assemble  your  Troop/group  at  the  parade  grounds.  Please  refrain  from  moving  your  gear  to  your  campsite  un=l  advised  by  the  check-­‐in  staff.  One  adult  leader  in  charge  should  proceed  to  the  Admin  Area  to  submit  the  needed  forms  and  any  payments  due.  Any  late  arrivals  should  park  in  the  parking  lot  and  walk  to  the  lodge  for  check-­‐in  and  a  camp  ID  bracelet.

Check-­‐In  Procedures  (con?nued)

When  checking  in  you  should  have  the  following  items:

  Annual  Health  &  Medical  Form  (parts  A,  B  and  C)

  Family  Night  Meal  Reserva?on  Form

  Talent  Release  Form

  Parental  Firearms  Permission  and  Release  (Parts  A,  B,  C  and  D)

At  CampProvisional  Scou?ng

The  Boy  Scout  Programs  at  Camp  Josepho  are  unlike  a  tradi=onal  summer  camp  in  that  we  are  not  organized  by  troop.  Scouts  are  welcome  to  aHend  as  patrols,  groups  of  friends,  or  on  their  own.  They  will  be  divided  into  crews  for  their  projects,  but  we  would  like  anyone  who  is  interested  in  aHending  these  programs  to  feel  welcome  to  aHend.

Uniforms

Scouts  should  wear  the  official  Field  Uniform  (Class  A)  during  all  evening  flag  ceremonies  and  dinner.  Scouts  are  encouraged  to  wear  a  Troop  T-­‐Shirt  or  Camp  Josepho  Shirt  during  the  remainder  of  the  day,  but  they  are  free  to  wear  whatever  is  comfortable  and  neat.  No  open-­‐toed  shoes  are  allowed  in  camp  with  the  excep=on  of  the  pool  area.

Smoking  and  Alcohol

Camp  Josepho  is  a  non-­‐smoking  facility.  Smoking  or  tobacco  use  in  front  of  any  camper,  leader,  or  staff  member  is  strictly  prohibited.  Alcoholic  beverages  are  never  permiHed  on  any  Boy  Scout  property.  Please  help  the  camp  enforce  these  rules  by  making  sure  all  leaders  and  parents  in  your  Troop  are  aware  of  this  policy.

Homesickness

While  most  boys  find  themselves  too  busy  with  the  fun  and  adventure  of  camp,  homesickness  can  be  a  reality  for  Scouts  who  are  new  to  the  outdoors  and  unfamiliar  with  being  away  from  home.  We  encourage  every  boy  who  experience  homesickness  to  stay  at  camp,  as  overcoming  homesickness  oaen  results  in  a  strong  sense  of  pride  and  achievement.

We  have  found  that  one  of  the  strongest  proponents  of  homesickness  is  the  cell  phone.  Even  though  cell  phones  do  not  usually  work  at  camp,  Leaders  are  strongly  discouraged  from  allowing  boys  to  use  cell  phones  to  call  home.  When  a  boy  sees  another  boy  calling,  he  will  usually  feel  the  need  to  call  home  himself.  Parents  should  talk  to  their  sons  before  he  comes  to  camp  about  his  feelings  about  leaving  home,  and  make  a  plan  on  how  to  handle  homesickness.

Page  4  of  14

Emergency  Procedures

An  air-­‐horn  system  can  be  heard  throughout  camp  to  alert  campers  and  staff  of  an  emergency.  Each  camping  area  has  an  air-­‐horn  hanging  near  the  entrance  for  emergency  use  by  adults  only.  In  the  case  of  an  emergency,  staff  is  trained  to  respond  only  to  the  Camp  Director,  or  in  his  absence,  his  designee.  The  en=re  camp  will  par=cipate  in  an  emergency  drill  and  learn  what  to  do  in  the  case  of  a  fire,  earthquake,  or  other  emergency.  We  ask  that  each  adult  leader  knows  where  the  air  horn  is  in  case  of  an  emergency  and  to  adhere  only  to  the  instruc=ons  given  by  the  camp  staff.  If  there  is  an  injury  that  is  not  life  threatening,  do  not  call  911  unless  given  instruc=on  by  the  Camp  Director.

The  emergency  telephone  number  at  Camp  Josepho  is  (310)  459-­‐9093.  This  phone  is  staffed  during  program  hours.  Boys  can  make  emergency  outgoing  calls  when  accompanied  by  one  of  their  adult  leaders.  Please  note  that  cell  phones  do  not  generally  work  while  in  camp.
