Workday Onboarding What is Workday Onboarding, you might ask? GREAT question! It's all of the admin task you need to complete for you to be set up as an Eagle Lake staff member. It means you get paid (yay) and taxed (*less enthusiatistic yay*). Here's the deal though, Workday Onboarding is genuinely an easy process that makes sure you get paid this summer. Who doesn't want that? A few painless steps and you're well on your way to killing it at kayaking soccer and belaying campers at Thunder Rock. Really interested in hearing Kiera narrate this process? Here's a step-by-step Workday Onboarding Video. Not for dummies; for seasoned staff, obviously. Having trouble logging in to Workday? No problem at all. Connect with Staff Services and they can help you reset your password or trouble-shoot the security questions you forgot. staff.services@navigators.org or (844) 894-6287.

Helpful Hint: After completeing each task, scroll down a bit and hit the orange 'Submit' button. Otherwise, that task is no good. Then, click the orange 'Done' button. YOU'RE DONE WITH WORKDAY ONBOARDING!
Wilderness First Aid (WFA) Certification We need all our Excursions staff to be WFA certified to keep our campers safe and to meet requirements for the State of Colorado. If you're already certified, GREAT! Please double-check that your WFA certification is valid through at least August 15th, 2021. If it is, scoot right along to your next task. If it's not, let's take care of that! WFA courses are available through a number of different accredited sites including NOLS (Sean's reccommendation). If you don't go through NOLS, check with Sean first to make sure it's a properly accrediated course. Please Note: your WFA certification will cost around $275. Yes, that feels like a lot, but it's an investment in your career! Being WFA certified opens up some incredible opportunities (especially in the outdoor arena). Sign up for your NOLS course here: https://www.nols.edu/en/coursefinder/courses/wilderness-first-aid-WFA/ Questions about this process? Hit up Sean Upshaw (sean.upshaw@navigators.org) and he'll get you set!

Mandatory Reporter Training Eagle Lake's heart and mission is to make camp a place that is safe for campers to laugh, play, and learn to love like Jesus. All of our staff are Mandatory Reporters because we work with children. This means you have an obligation to report any physical, sexual, or mental abuse of a child (and so do your leadership). This is hard stuff, but it's incredibly important. Be attentive to this training (as you always are). To complete this training, click this link https://coloradocwts.com/wbt/mandatory_reporter_guest/ At the beginning in the "Tell Us About Yourself" select that you are 'A volunteer who workswith children or youth.' When you go to the Testing Center you must complete the Test AND the Survey in order to access your certificate. When you get to the survey you will get to some questions that are required for you to complete - the Demographic Information. Question 19 asks for your profession. Select: 'Social Worker' or 'Worker in any facility or agency that is licensed...' Question 20 asks for Contact info. Follow the guidelines below: Name: Your first and last name Organization: Eagle Lake Camps of The Navigators Address: 3820 N 30th St. City/Town: Colorado Springs Zip/Postal Code: 80904 Email Address (Professional): Your email Question 21 asks for the county the organization is in: El Paso SAVE your certificate. Otherwise, you'll have the retake the test to get it again. Big Yikes. EMAIL Kiera Hemphill (kiera.hemphill@navigators.org) your certificate and then go get yourself a coffee or other treat.
Child Protection Training One of the most important things you'll do this summer is help Eagle Lake keep our campers safe. Part of that is watching out for their physical needs (like reminding them apply sunscreen and wear chapstick), but it also involves helping us maintain safe practices around camp to protect our campers and staff. Child Protection training has two parts -- an online course you complete prior to your arrival and an in-person talk you'll participate in with Eagle Lake leadership when your arrive. Even though this is serious stuff, we want to make it engaging, so click this lfor the training on Child Protection. After clicking on the link, fill in your identifying information (name and email address). Then attentively watch the video. There will be a five question quiz at the end of the course. After you complete the quiz, hit the submit button and you are done. Once you've completed this process, take a breather, then move on to your next training. Remember: We'll offer a talk to refresh and inforce this training when you arrive in May.
