Expectations & Requirements for all Flying Horse Farms Staff   

We live our Values. We are each responsible for knowing our values and nurturing our culture:

All In:

To embody our Core Values of “Campers First,” and “All Crew, No Passengers” we are All In to demonstrate a dedication to FHF’s mission & vision, even when tasks or goals may be in our stretch zone or outside normal job responsibilities.  This may include the reminder that “Anyone Can Give” means that in all we do, at all times, with all people, we represent FHF and our camper families depend on us to share their stories and inspire as many people as possible to be part of making camp possible. 

Attitude of Optimism: 

Our Core Value of “Welcome Home,” requires us to have an Attitude of Optimism. We accept ambiguity as an opportunity to solve problems and are hopeful our work and objectives will achieve successful outcomes. Having an Attitude of Optimism in how we approach our work means that we “Celebrate Every Milestone” when trying something new or different. There may not be a specific outcome met or achieved, but other opportunities present themselves, such as learning experiences, new skills, thought  processes, or communication styles.  

Trustworthy: 

To achieve our Core Value of “Seeing the Best in Each Other,” we must be Trustworthy. We build trust when we show up prepared, consistently deliver what is asked of us and what we say we will do, and then some. We take ownership of our work, and we are honest about where support is needed and how we  offer it to each other. When this is demonstrated, “With Trust Comes Relief” is experienced by others. We foster the experience with abundant gratitude and applying our Core Value of “A Simple Thank You Goes a Long Way”.  

Take Initiative: 

The Core Value of “Fearless is Free” invites a team member to Take Initiative to plan for what could happen, solve problems with innovation, and be attentive to details for successful outcomes. “Giving Feels Good” extends to how we offer our talents, our energy, and our care for the sake of the greater good of the mission. 

One Barn: 

At Flying Horse Farms, we believe in providing opportunities to engage and learn cross departmentally. To demonstrate this and underscore our operating core value of All In, every employee at FHF participates in organization-wide and/or cross departmental efforts. While included in all team member position responsibilities is the agreement of “other duties as assigned” or “not assigned,” we at FHF desire to be All In and agree to and partner on tasks, projects, and teamwork that support the operations and mission of the organization by completing tasks or assignments that may normally fall outside of your job description. Examples of this include but are not limited to fundraising, event assistance, program participation, facilities assistance work, “volunteering/working” for a camp session, and supporting alternative revenue efforts as appropriate. At FHF we fondly refer to this approach to All In as The One Barn.
