begins with the first meetings with students.

job that involves helping Jim to setup the camp. He needs your help with

If your pre-camp assistant work exceeds 42 hours, tell Jim, you will be
compensated extra.
Info on What to Bring with you to WNDI
You will be assigned to Assistant 1, 2, or 3 duties for Thursday.
Each involves about the same amount of work. Assistant 2 must have a car. After
