Greetings to everyone!
This is Blaine, I am the local coordinator with your employers for the Summer Work And Travel Program. I hope you all are as excited as I am to begin working together and with one another.
To begin, Rapid City is a medium sized town with around 75000 people. It is located on the edge of the Black Hills of South Dakota (Google/Bing search this) for better images. The Summer's in Rapid are primarily warm to hot, with thunderstorms and dry weather both happening. The mountain air cools at night to a very comfortable temperature.
Rapid City has plenty of outdoor events, festivals, and fairs throughout the summer. Concerts every Thursday night happen downtown, relatively close to the jobsites and living areas. Carnivals, Food Festivals, and area events happen on a weekly basis. Shopping is available for clothing, sporting and home goods, and anything else that you may need/want when you arrive.
The city has a bus system, plenty of places sell bicycles for a reasonable price, and if needed walking is not too far from anything. Many participants combine money and buy an older automobile to enjoy even more freedoms.
Schedules are flexible. (We will not require you to work a day that you need off for any religious reasons, for example). If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask me in a reply email.
