Questions for Staff Training

Following this post are 5 questions that I would like everybody to answer. Your answers to the these questions will help guide this year's staff training. If you are a returning staff please draw on your previous year(s) experience. If you are a new staff member please answer the question to the best of your ability with what you have perceived from your time at Camp UniStar.

Need a ride to camp?

If you need a ride, or wish to offer a ride, check out our new ridesharing service: http://staffies.erideshare.com/
You must create an account and to access the site you need the super secret password. It's "2009". Check it out and ride to camp in style-with your new friends!

Social Media Reminder

Just a simple reminder that your appearance on social media sites (facebook, myspace, blogs, etc.) reflects on Camp UniStar-particularly on the youth. Please remember to be diligent on who can view your profile and how you present yourself and camp. It should also be noted that many employers (not just camps) use social media sites in judging your true character-make sure it's positive!

Certifications

Now is the time you should be thinking about renewing any of your outdated certifications (Lifeguard, CPR, First Aid, AED, Foodsafe). Remember, Camp UniStar will reimburse you for any necessary certifications. Have a certification/skill/class that you think would be valuable to the UniStar community this summer? Run it by me and we will see if we can work it in!
