About Work Exchange
Work exchange folks have a job at camp, like washing dishes or cleaning bathrooms.  In exchange for their hard work, they pay reduced tuition (in most cases 50%) to come to camp.  Some jobs require special skills, experience, or knowledge; others requiring lifting or standing, etc.

Some work exchange positions require that you come early and stay late to help with set-up and break-down, or to attend a special training session. Work exchangers are also expected to be timely and responsible throughout the weekend (that means arriving to your shifts on time).

Some jobs may have you miss parts of a class or party, but we have set up the shift schedules to minimize conflicts.

You are encouraged to make your work exchange request early to ensure we have a spot for you.  Jobs may run out, and date of request is strongly considered when assigning jobs to applicants. 
Common Questions
Can I apply for more than one work exchange position? 
Yes, but please keep in mind that this will greatly affect your ability to participate in camp. You may be working up to 6 hours a day. We will prioritize assigning jobs to the maximum number of people first before we assign anyone two jobs. 

I can't come early to help set up / attend training. Can I still apply and work extra hard?
We will only assign jobs to people who can attend all required shifts. Much of the work is finite and time-sensitive, so "doing more later" is not realistic. 

Can I do the same job I did last time?
For some jobs, previous experience is great! We'll definitely consider that. But we'll also try to get as many new people as possible. If you've done a low-skill job for many years, you may be rotated off to give someone else a turn.
