TCODS - Tillamook County Outdoor School

Questions of interest to current YO! Staff:
Can I sleep in during camp?
Can I go to bed early each night?
Why does camp always have to be for the 6th graders; can't YO! Staff have a camp just for us?
Do we have more fundraisers scheduled, or do we have enough money to last us now into infinity?
Do we get a raise in our wages this year?
What forms do I need for camp?

Can I sleep in during camp?
Ha! You're kidding, right? Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor raccoons nor sleep shall keep you from doing everything humanly possible to make the week of camp the best possible experience for the 6th graders, their teachers, the counselors, the senior counselors, and the remainder of the staff, especially Moses!

Can I go to bed early each night?
Oh, another good question, NOT! You will NOT go to bed until all sixth graders are snoozing, the counselors in your assigned area are tucked into bed, the YO! Staff and Moses have met, and you have had your time of acting goofy in the privacy of your own quarters. Then and only then may you go to bed.

Why does camp always have to be for the 6th graders; can't YO! Staff have a camp just for us?
(It's a good thing you and I know that you've never ever asked this question!) Camp is for the 6th graders! When everyone works as hard as s/he possibly can for the 6th graders, then everyone has an incredible time at camp also. Without the 6th graders, all of us would have a terribly boring, meaningless time!

Do we have more fundraisers scheduled, or do we have enough money now into infinity?
Unless you know of someone who might donate several hundred thousand dollars so that TCODS could function off of the interest, we are doing more fundraisers. The Steak Dinner and Silent Auction is tentatively scheduled for November 1st, 2008, at Wirick Hall of the Church of the Nazarene on 3rd Street in Tillamook.

Do we get a raise in our wages this year?
How about instead of a raise, you can have 100 times what you make now, okay! 100 X $0.00 = $0.00!

What forms do I need for camp?
Each YO! needs to read the Outdoor School Rules for Adults and be prepared to sign the Outdoor School Memorandum of Understanding. Also, download the Adult Health Form, fill it out, and take it to camp with you. Checkout the Adult Forms Page!

You can download a copy of the suggested Adult Clothing List and the Adult Clothing Checklist. Back to TCODS Frequently (and Infrequently) Asked Questions (FAQs) page!
