Think Tank

A reincarnation of the Rock Camp Advisory Board, Think Tank is a forum for members of the Rock Camp community—volunteers, campers, teachers, parents, musicians, organizers, activists—to foster ideas and give feedback that will help Rock Camp become better and stronger each year. Think Tank meets three times a year, and is structured as a community conversation to capitalize on the rich dialogue and great ideas that come about when people get together to discuss rock camp. Conversations range from small logistical matters to larger critiques of camp, to creative new approaches and targeted action items. Think Tank members have the chance to help shape programs, influence the direction the organization takes, and be part of the funnest brain trust in town.

Applications to join Think Tank are available annually each Fall.

2011 Think Tank:

Courtney Gillette (Coordinator)
Susan Lob
Kristine Goldy
Annie Russell
Beth Heller
Rachel Weinstein
Amy Klein
