(4) Driving for field camp

 

Field camp needs responsible student drivers.  You will be compensated
$300 (10% of the course fee!!) for taking on this very important responsibility.
You must agree to the following rules to qualify:

  • you must be available as the designated driver for at least one town night

  • you must be respectful of others

  • you must drive for the entire camp - some exceptions handled on a case by case basis.

Driving financial aid applications will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.

 

If you would like to drive and earn some money doing it, download this form, print it out,
and fill it in.  NEXT, make a high resolution photocopy of your drivers license.  LAST,
mail your driver's license and the filled-out form to:

 

Frank J. Pazzaglia
