CAN I WORK MORE THAN ONE SESSION?
Camp Arequipa Aides can request to attend more than one session. It is the intent of MCDCC that we give everyone who wants to work as a Camp Arequipa Aide a chance to work at least one session at camp, first. Then, if there is a need at camp for more aides or program specialists or Junior Unit Leaders, then girls may apply for a second session of camp by following these procedures. At the top of the online registration form there is a field for "Note to Day Camp Registrar," which is where you should indicate your request for two sessions. You should also PAY for two sessions, and be sure to order your session preferences To increase your chance of working a second session consider signing up as a JUL or Program Specialist.
