ONBOARDING IN ADP

All onboarding tasks should be completed prior to staff training and the start of your contract. This ensures that we meet all federal, state, and accreditation standards and that you are all set up to work and get paid this summer!

Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9):

As part of your ADP paperwork, you will be required to complete an I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification Form). To do this, the first step in ADP will require you to enter specific information from a driver's license and Social Security number, Passport, or other identification document. The second step will be in person at Camp when you check in with our Business/ Finance Assistant. You'll need to bring the same identification documents with you to be verified in person. Documents must be the original document. Photocopies will not be accepted.

If you have questions about ADP processes or paperwork, please contact Becky at becky.jirikowic@manito-wish.org.

OUTDOOR LEADERSHIP SCHOOL

Courses include:

Wilderness First Responder
Wilderness First Responder Recertification
Wilderness First Aid
Wilderness Water Safety
Behavioral First Responder

*PLEASE NOTE REQUIREMENT CHANGES FOR 2025!

Starting in 2025, we will no longer accept fully virtual Wilderness First Responder, Wilderness First Aid, or CPR certifications or re-certifications, such as those offered through Survival Med Online. We will continue to accept hybrid certifications and re-certifications, such as those offered through NOLS and WMA. We recognize that coordinating travel to receive certification training can be difficult in the midst of other obligations. Still, we strongly believe in the importance of in-person wilderness medical instruction to ensure that our trip leaders are fully prepared to respond to emergencies in the remote settings where we send our trips. If you are still pursuing your certification for Camp this summer, we strongly encourage in-person training, and we still have space in our Outdoor Leadership Course offerings at Camp this summer. Please feel free to contact Ione with any questions or concerns!
