What IDs Do I Need???
You will need to bring ORIGINAL IDs (not copies) with you on your first day. These should be the same IDs that you uploaded pictures of for your onboarding and can be one of two combinations of IDs.

Your first day with ACC will begin with parking. You may drive your own vehicle or be dropped off.
Driving Yourself? You'll park at our satellite parking area and then shuttle over to our office, bringing your personal gear with you. Please also bring your personal keys to the office, where you will leave them in a bag with the rest of your crew's keys (in case vehicles need to be moved at the parking area while you are on hitch). Parking instructions will go out in an email and can also be found below. Getting Dropped Off? You may get dropped directly at the office; please contact us if you plan to be dropped off and we will let you know when and where to arrive. At the office, we will look at your IDs, wrap up any outstanding onboarding tasks, provide any loaner gear that you need, and get you introduced to your crew and crew leaders. We will introduce our staff and discuss some program details, rules, and support systems in a group, then you'll go with your crew to food shop for your first week. After food shopping, you will head to the project site, set up camp, and possibly meet with project partners and see some of the work for the coming week. Your crew will cook and eat dinner and depending on time, your crew leaders may have some discussions for you in the evening. We try to keep the information overload to a minimum, but do expect a bit of a flood on your first day. Crew chats will continue each evening throughout your first week to discuss policies, introduce wellness strategies for camping, help you set goals for your season, introduce you to outdoor ethics like Leave No Trace, and build a crew contract to solidify your shared values. |
Your first day with ACC will begin with parking. You may drive your own vehicle or be dropped off.
Either way, you'll head to a central location for your project and take a crew vehicle to your project site from there. Crew meeting locations will be sent out via email, but should remain constant throughout your season. When you meet on the first day, an ACC staff member will be there along with your crew leaders. Staff will look at your IDs, wrap up any outstanding onboarding tasks, provide any loaner gear that you need, and get you introduced to your crew and crew leaders. We will also discuss some program details, rules, and support systems in a group, then you'll head to the worksite to get started for the day. At the end of the day, you'll be returned to the central location where you arrived in the morning and you can head home or get picked up from there.
