At Camp, it is important that we all do our jobs to the best of our abilities by completing and doing all that is expected based on our jobs. While you may not have to perform all the responsibilities on a daily basis it is important to know what they all are at all times. If everyone does what they are expected to, camp will work more efficiently.
