HS Kids is a week-long full-immersion residential English program for Italian children between the ages of 7 and 14. Children live at Humanities Spring, do activities in the morning, do art and go for nature walks in the afternoon, and keep a diary in English. At the end of the week, students put on plays in English, make American cookies and cakes, and have a little art show for their parents.

            ___  Actors This group performs a brief play each morning. Last year, smash-hit performances included The Three Little Pigs and the Three Bears. All shows are in English, of course. The group also comes up with rudimentary costumes and props. Plays (mini-plays!) are performed on the Humanities Spring lawn.

              ___Cooks  This group cooks a snack for the rest of the group each morning -- involves reading the recipe in English, including instructions (beat eggs lightly, etc.) We have recipes from last year's cookies and "treats." If you want to do a favorite recipe of your own, that's fine but recipe must be approved by HS staff (English must be clear and simple) and cook must be given your ingredients list at least 3 days ahead of time so that we're sure we have everything you need. 

            ___ Slaves This group makes beds each morningbut then (don't worry -- they actually had A LOT of fun last year) goes out and picks flowers, arranges them beautifully in each student room (every student comes to HS Kids with a vase) and then decorates the rooms with postcards, posters, fabrics , drawings, etc-- so that they are beautiful! 

5) Please list all types of previous experiences and work-experiences that you think could be relevant to being an activity leader at HS Kids  (i.e. camp counselor, baby-sitter, tutor (in the English language or other subjects), acting or cooking experience (particularly cookies and cakes) background in art. etc.) and give a brief description of each one.
