Thanks!/ Placement Survey/ Volunteer Sign Up

Hello Fire Campers!
Please read through this email carefully, it's got important stuff in it! Three sections... and ... go!

THANK YOU!
A big thank you to everyone for getting camp dues paid on time.  Things went well with our new payment system and I was able to get funds in to pay for all our services.  In the coming weeks you will receive emails on camp housekeeping, health and safety, events, and placement.  Stay tuned and keep me posted on questions you may have about camp, getting super duper close!!  -Stefie

PLACEMENT
We’re deep into tetris-ing 150+ campers and organizing our famous neighborhoods. To get all our vehicles in and out of camp during setup, we look at your arrival times and rig type/sizes. The more accurate these bits, the easier it is to create a map that might sorta match reality.

 
Since many of us didn’t yet have our ESD shifts or know our travel timing back when we filled out the camp survey, we have a lot of TBD information in our spreadsheet. So here’s your chance to give us the real deal deets! If you have new info, please go to THIS SURVEY.
 
Why?
-      Playa arrival date: Helps plan who pulls into what spots, helps in/out maneuvering.
-      Departure date: Helps us make sure you’re not blocked if you need to leave early.
-      Type and size of vehicle you’re living in: Helps in/out maneuvering and making sure you fit. Looking for rig type like, RV, trailer, van, truck. Disregard this question if you’re in a tent or shiftpod.

VOLUNTEER SIGN UP IS HAPPENING NOW!! 
Now is the time to sign up for camp shifts. These are the shifts that make the camp a smoothly running operation. A few reminders and exhortations: 

1. Minimum hours to contribute is 4 - 8 per camper. 
2. The final weekend shifts always go empty. If you are still in camp when Friday rolls around, please consider signing up for shifts for that day and beyond. Also, note that shifts are designed such that no camper will miss any of the major burns. 
3. When you arrive on Playa and settled in, please check in at the Volunteer Coordinator check in desk in the Undome. You can find your shifts listed there, and your cheery VC will give you instructions on how to check in for each of your shifts and where to find details on the responsibilities if needed. 
4. If for some unforeseen reason you need to miss a shift, please try to find a replacement. If you can't, at minimum please tell a VC.
 
This year we have a small army of VCs to ensure that all the things get done while on Playa. Their camps will have signs indicating that a VC dwells within, and the VCs are available for questions, problems, or a hug.  


They are:
Karita Genay-Wolf
Rebecca Graham
Diane Hodgkins
June Thompson
