Core leads work with 2 other co-leads to manage responsibilities before, during and after the event. Since the responsibility is shared with 2 other people, the individual amount of work is minimal! People are able to run camps, make art, have fun AND be a core lead all at the same time! Interested? Want more information? Know someone who would be a good fit?
