With registration being one of the main issues of the day the communications team shut down the internet for all staff except for registration so that the process is sped up as much as possible and it is painless in some ways.
Logistics had a last minute meeting to explain some small details that were critical to be explained to participants right off the bat, for example that if you hurt yourself after you have been warned over and over again then the park service is not liable for you. The I-Corps had a meeting right after to go over some of the program that they will deliver to the participants then they were handed their park service radios which each cost more then they will make then entire summer. Many different teams across camp were also given radios which will be used on the trails to communicate effectively.
With registration going smoothly, medicals being turned in correctly and kids pouring in from all over they started to put up their tents and erect a tent city on the base where they will sleep for the next week after their day of service and night of program.
Lunch included a special suprise, the national chief throwing rolls to all the guests eating dinner.
The afternoon was spent with group contingent photos being taken which are now up on www.photobucket.com/SummitCorps2011
along with the I-Corps giving orientation to the participants. This orientation includes a tool talk, a history of the area, and even a LNT(leave no trace) talk. Last but not least it included DRINK WATER!!!!
The day ended with the shows giving a spectacular show which included the national chief, national vice-chief, Central region chief, the youth incident commander, and so many more suprises that await you when you come to the show.
