General Affairs

Needed: 2 people, the general affairs and the assistant general affairs, to take care of practical issues

The general affair's assignments include:

• Fix anything. For example: Put in new light bulbs, fix or put in hooks and latches for bathroom stalls.
• Buy anything that you need to fix things; anything for the upkeep of camp (paper towels, toilet paper, soap, shampoo); anything for the infirmary; and anything for the kitchen. The kitchen gets bulk food deliveries, but sometimes the cook just needs a small amount of something or runs out of something.
• Be prepared to leave camp for shopping trips every one or two days. Some shops (Walmart) are about 20 miles from camp; the closest ones are 7 miles. Therefore this assignment will not be suitable for someone who comes with small children, but without a spouse.
• Collect garbage and change garbage bags. Bring garbage every evening after dinner to garbage dumpster. If it's not done in the evenings, the bears are likely to have a good meal, but leave a real mess around and drag some garbage bags into the woods.
• 38 gallon garbage bags are the ones that fit the garbage cans at camp.
• Directs the staging crew and the camp cleaning crew.

The general affairs and the assistant can split up the work however they like. The assistant general affairs could also be the staging team leader.
