Day Off: |
|
We will insert one day into your workshop schedule so that we can have a day off. Typically, we prefer to take off Sundays. Trust us, you will be READY for a day off! Anyway, remember, when planning for this workshop, you will need a total of 11 days (10 days for construction, 1 day off)
|
Your Team Must Be... |
- mature enough & healthy enough to handle this intense, hard-working schedule
- able to stand for long hours (we do take breaks, though)
- really good sports to work long hours together (typical day: 8 a.m to 7 or 8 p.m.)
