"How to Host a Futures Camp" Instructional Package

A Summer Futures Camp for middle schoolers was held in the Summer of 2010 by a team of educators led by Dr. Kay Strong and Dr. Peter Bishop under the aegis of the University of Houston’s Futures Studies program. Oliver Markley, PhD volunteered to video the proceedings. The camp was so successful, it became clear a How to Host a Futures Camp package was needed to benefit the larger community of Gifted/Talented teachers and Future Problem solving coaches. Dr. Strong and Dr. Markley created a CD with full instructions and a DVD with video clips illustrating all aspects of the camp. Not only can it help you do a futures camp yourself if you wish, it is also useful for any classroom teacher wanting to introduce simple but useful ways to think about the future for their students.
