• The verbal agreement is considered an agreement to serve. If you decide not to accept the position notify NLOM immediately so we can proceed with other applicants.
• A service agreement, job description, personnel policies, summer schedule and other necessary documentation will be issued following a verbal agreement to accept the position. Signing your Service Agreement means you will be at camp on the designated date and agree to follow the rules, policies and regulations of NLOM.
