Maintenance Workers Required - Pre Teen 2

In recent years, Pre-Teen 2 has been one of our busier weeks during the summer and usually requires extra staff to make sure we have a smooth running week. One area in particular that requires help is our maintenance team. This is a critically important staff position because it involves not only cleaning and housekeeping but also set up for many of the activities in the chapel, up at Fort Seneca as well as setting up and grilling at our weekly cookout!

If you would like to be involved on maintenance this summer, let Dave Larter know at dlarter@aol.com. He can get you a staff application. And if you have worked on maintenance before, try to to invite some friends to work alongside of you! Our maintenance workers are the unsung heroes of camp!
