In the summer we host a two-week day camp with some very interesting activities offered to the students which is the bulk of the content we covered. Every aspect of this work has been a highly collaborative effort. We completed a statewide video project during the Summer of 2013 where I worked as a field producer and project manager. That content can be viewed at the following links: http://merrittkimberley.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/vistagmu2013/ http://merrittkimberley.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/vistawm2013/ http://merrittkimberley.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/vistavcu2013/
