Step 2: Join a Meeting
Once you have completed Step 1, you are ready to join a meeting!
Click the join meeting button. Then, enter the meeting ID which is listed in your schedule for each activity. It is an eleven-digit number that is listed as "Zoom Room." Please only join the activities that are listed under your schedule.
Also, be sure to change your name to your camp name AND your preferred pronouns. This helps us get familiar with one another while staying respectful and inclusive to all.
See the screenshots below for an example.
***If siblings are joining within the same window, add multiple names!

Step 3: Enter the Password
Once you enter the meeting ID and change your name, you will be prompted to enter the password. You or your guardian have been sent passwords. All passwords are on the schedule sent in the Kesem at Home kit and on you or your guardian's email. Once you enter that, you will be redirected to the virtual waiting room. Wait patiently for the host to let you in!
Step 4: Zoom!
Once the host has let you in the zoom room, you are ready to interact with other campers! Be sure to be respectful and have fun! In the bottom left, there are options to turn off video and audio temporarily. We would love to see your face the whole time, but try your best to mute yourself when you are not speaking so that everyone can hear who is talking. Unmute yourself when you want to share!
