We have a range of needs and time frames and would love to add you to the team.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Worry &#8211; You\u2019ll Get to Enjoy the Camp<\/h2>\n<p>Your volunteer commitment will not take away from your time enjoying the fun and soaking in the great stuff the camp has to offer. Just a few\u00a0hours are requested\u00a0and we have a wide range of volunteer opportunities to fit your experience and personality.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more about what you\u2019d actually be doing? Check out the list below to see some examples of the volunteer opportunities we will have:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Registration Volunteers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arrive an hour early and help us get the camp going. You\u2019ll be helping at the registration tables with such things like: checking off registrations, handing out name tags, getting folks their t-shirts, providing the swag, saying \u201cWelcome!\u201d with your best early morning smile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Setup and Tear Down Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got tables, we\u2019ve got signs, we\u2019ve got boxes, we\u2019ve got equipment and\u00a0more stuff! We need help getting everything in place before hand and tearing it back down afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Help Table<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Where&#8217;s the next session? What time is lunch? Can I register late? Does this shirt make me look fat? Whatever questions our attendees have, we need helpful volunteers to man the table and help direct them to\u00a0answers. (That shirt? Yes. Yes it does.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happiness Bar\/WP Help Desk Support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know a thing or two about WordPress! Why not spend some time giving back and helping those coming along behind you. We need people of all levels in the WordPress community to hang out in the Happiness Bar and help answer How-To questions from other attendees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Room Moderator and A\/V Support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Help us keep the equipment running smoothly in all our breakout sessions rooms. Keep an eye on things in the room that might need attention (ex: more chairs, spilled coffee, etc.) Work with the video people, speakers, and everyone else working in the room to keep things running smoothly and on time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker Host<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got some amazing speakers lined up for all our sessions. Let\u2019s treat them right! Help us get them in the right spot at the right time. You\u2019ll be communicating with them a few minutes before their session, helping them with their equipment if needed, providing a bottle of water, and making sure they have what they need. Read their short bio by way of introduction and be their timekeeper to help the sessions run on time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food and Beverage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Help with setup and cleanup of the food areas. You know we\u2019re gonna have coffee and snacks, right? Help us make sure things stay stocked and the area clean. We also need help setting up and tearing down lunch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All-Hands-on-Deck Help<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether its help running messages, covering last minute details, or just answering questions, we need volunteers, ready and willing to help wherever needed!<\/p>\n<h2>Sign Up to Volunteer<\/h2>\n<p>We are only looking for two things in our volunteers: Reliability and Friendliness.
