camp coordinator checklist
During the registration process, host applicants will be asked to review the Camp Coordinator Checklist and verify they understand the responsibilities associated with hosting an AFA CyberCamp.
The individual who submits the application to host a camp is, by default, the camp coordinator for that camp. This person will act as the organization's single point of contact throughout the camp season. All camp-related emails (including the demo software download links) are sent to the camp coordinator only, and this person is responsible for sharing any pertinent camp information with the necessary parties.
