Important Information for Camp Echo Staff

Smoking is not permitted on camp property or during any off-site camp activities. The illegal use of any controlled substance is absolutely prohibited while you are a staff member with Camp Echo. No alcoholic beverages may be brought onto camp property, and no one is to return to camp under the influence.

It is very important that you read and understand Camp Echo's Staff Application Handbook. As a member of our staff, you will be required to adhere to these policies and guidelines as well as those described in our staff manual and as conveyed during training. The Application Handbook will give you a basic understanding of the requirements of our camp jobs so you can ensure that a position with Camp Echo is appropriate for you.

Camp work is physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding, requires long hours, mobility over a variety of terrain, and involves adherence to camp policies that may be limiting (limited time off, lack of privacy, no smoking, etc.).

Is there anything that would prohibit you from complying with this lifestyle and these policies?
Yes No

If you checked yes or require any special accommodations to perform your duties, please explain:

By submitting this form, I certify that all information I provided on this application and all other information provided as part of the application and interview process is correct and true.
