Should I contact the camp office to inquire about my staff application?
The Main Office of Camp Tawingo receives numerous inquiries concerning the possibility of joining our staff. It is very difficult to provide every candidate with an opportunity to arrange an interview, see our facility, or meet our full-time staff. Because of the high number of applicants, Camp Tawingo has a policy of contacting only those new candidates with whom it wishes to arrange an interview.
