Volunteer Shifts

In order to keep camp affordable and promote community, participants at Born to Drum Camp 2016 will be asked to sign up for 1-2 work shifts depending on need and how long you will be at camp.  Women who are unable to afford camp fees are encouraged to apply for work study which will involve doing extra work shifts.  

Work shifts will be 45 to 60 minutes. They will be scheduled to avoid time conflicts with class times.   There will be a sign up sheet for work shifts at the registration table to be completed when you arrive at camp.  If you are attending 3 days please indicate two 45-60 minute work shifts.  If you are only attending one day you do not need to sign up for a work shift however pitching in and helping where needed would be much appreciated.
