If you would like to help me at Wheaton Labs this summer to put on the SKIP event, please let me know in this thread and we'll take it from there.

Our leadership plan is to have one main facilitator (me) with several assistants.  The assistants have to lead PEP activities for half of the event and they are free to participate or do their own thing for the other half of the event.  This is a great chance to work on some Straw level BBs that you can't get at home or work along with other folks to knock out Sand BBs you haven't gotten to.

The minimum requirement for applying is to have completed BB40 and have been to Wheaton labs.  That way we know you are familiar enough with PEP to guide others (photos, etc) and you know your way around the site enough to not get lost.  I think of a good facilitator in terms of the attached Venn diagram.  It's not enough to know PEP, or how to get around Wheaton Labs, or the skills to do the BBs.  You need at least two of those to be helpful and all three is even better.  Having skills in all 22 aspects is very challenging so we take what we can get.  Requiring BB40 and a visit to WL at least hits two of the three circles...

We are working on setting up a BB20 event in Feb/Mar for a week.  That's free for people who have BB20 and would be a chance to get a visit in as you prepare yourself to be an assistant instructor this summer.

As an assistant instructor, you'd get the same food/lodging that is supplied to a normal attendee.

Our plan for the event is to have 3 tracks of activities.  So we probably need at least 4 assistants to cover all the tracks.

Come join me in beautiful Montana this summer!
