Additional Thoughts, Reminders, & Last Minute Musings for Staff
SUMMER 2024
ARRIVALS:
Please use the button above to double check we have the correct arrival date & time for you! If you do not see your name listed on this sheet, it very likely means that we have not yet received your travel form submission. Please do so ASAP!
If you’re arriving at camp BEFORE 5PM on your arrival date, you can check in with Megan in her office at the Post Office (see map for location).
If you’re arriving at camp AFTER 5PM, send a message to Megan or Adam on Slack when you’ve arrived and one of them will come down and greet you at the parking area on the ballfield.
If you’re arriving by air and catching the shuttle to Prescott, send Megan or Adam a message on Slack once you’ve gotten in the shuttle, and keep us updated on your ETA. One of us or another FPC Staff member will meet you at the shuttle station in town and take you back to camp.
CAMP MAP:
We will have you park on the Ballfield (labeled on the map) for R&R week, and then at the start of SDW, we’ll have everyone move their vehicles up to the parking area outside the Staff Lounge.
You may park near your cabin to unload, but please do not leave your car near the cabins; we need to keep the roads open for fire lane access. Be sure to return your car to the ballfield once you’ve loaded things into your cabin!
Cabin Assignments:
We will move cabins after Ropes & Riding week (5/13-5/17), then again after Staff Development Week (5/20-5/26).
You’ll get your first camper cabin assignments at the end of SDW.
If you will be living in non-camber cabin staff housing (e.g. Wranglers, Kitchen staff), you will move into your summer staff housing after SDW.
Get Ready Guide:
Use the Get-Ready-Guide to prep for your summer! The suggested packing list can be found on page 13 of this guide.
PHONES & ELECTRONICS:
During R&R week, phones & electronics can be kept and used in your cabin ONLY! Please do not use phones or electronics outside the cabin at anytime of day.
Starting at 10AM on Sunday, May 21st, phones & electronics will be put into the lockers in the staff lounge, and will not enter the main camp area again at any point for the remainder of the summer.
Please let your friends and families know that you can be reached between 9PM-11PM MST each night during SDW. If there’s an emergency, they can call the camp directly at (928) 445-2128.
