As a Lost & Found hero, you will make the rounds to the major theme camps to collect items lost at the camp and bring them to the Lost & Found. Along the way, you should feel confident proclaiming good LNT practices, picking up any MOOP you encounter, and encouraging other Fireflies to do the same. Also spread the word about the location of the Lost & Found -- it is your mission to ensure all that Lost Things are Found! And if you see any labeled items feel free to try to return them to their owners! | As a Lost & Found hero, you will make the rounds to the major theme camps to collect items lost at the camp and bring them to the Lost & Found.

To start your shift, come to MOMM (aka the Museum of Modern MOOP, aka the event Lost & Found), which is just up the path from the upper parking portos. If there isn't an LNT lead there at the time, you'll find instructions, a volunteer shift sign-in book, and instructions for whom to contact with any questions. | To start your shift, come to MOMM (aka the Museum of Modern MOOP, aka the event Lost & Found), which is just up the path from the upper parking portos.

Your main tasks are described below. | ||
Shifts are 2-4 pm | Shifts are 2-4 pm Wednesday through Saturday and 9-11 am on Sunday (Exodus). | ||
=== Tidy up MOMM === | |||
Make her look good: straighten crooked labels, pick up fallen items, rearrange items artistically, make space for new arrivals, etc. | |||
=== Collect Lost & Found items from theme camps === | |||
Starting at MOMM, grab an orange pumpkin bag and walk around to camps and collect Lost & Found items. These are most likely to be in bigger theme camps (so make sure to go there), but anywhere is fair game. Then return to MOMM by the end of your shift and deposit any items you collected during your walk. Ideally, any camps hosting events (especially the large sound camps) should have a process for identifying Lost & Found items and either bringing them to MOMM or having them ready for you to collect. If they're unprepared, let them know someone will be around again tomorrow at the same time! | |||
=== Collect trash-MOOP === | |||
Before setting off on your rounds, please also grab a ziplock baggie to collect any trash you find along the way. There will be a secret trash receptacle behind MOMM (only for trash collected by LNT volunteers during their shifts, so please don't tell others it's here). | |||
