==Types of Volunteers==
ToorCamp is always looking for volunteers. It requires a huge effort to get everything set up the week before ToorCamp, and there are many different areas we could use help. Here's a list of ways people can help out. We're able to help with admission costs for people who are volunteers. If you want to attend ToorCamp but aren't sure if you can afford it, please contact us and we can definitely figure out a way that you can contribute. If you have talent that is not on the list, please speak up! Also everyone is a pretty much a network engineer, so we have that very well covered. Meals will be provided for all volunteers during ToorCamp.
 
  
===Setup===

There will be a lot of setup involved before the camp. We will be out at the campsite starting the Sunday before preparing the area. Here are a few things that need to be done. If you have experience in any of these areas or feel you can contribute, please let us know.
