Tasks are rotated among four people and include serving dinner, preparing cabins for guests (cleaning cabins and bathrooms, making beds), assisting in breakfast, cleaning up after meals, and cleaning public areas (the Stoop, porches and bathrooms). The Chorepeople (in rotation) will be asked to spend an hour each day helping in the kitchen -- chopping, stirring, washing vegetables, and assisting the Cooks. Choreps will also assist in the Laundry Room on a rotating basis. During slow times, everyone helps with such tasks as doing errands, weeding the gardens, and light maintenance, and the entire staff works as a team to get the work done during the busiest times. Applicants must be at least 16 years of age.
