Volunteer Work Weekend
Friday, November 15 to Sunday, November 17, 2024
We’re so excited to announce an upcoming opportunity to volunteer over a WEEKEND. It’s a great time to give back to camp with a little hard work and good fun while enjoying fall in the mountains.
Camp needs able bodies and helping hands to get camp ready for winter! We need about 30 volunteers to do important work of fire clearance, which is the primary task this weekend, as well as splitting wood, storing pool and amphitheater furniture for the winter, and organizing the maintenance shop’s tools, nuts, and bolts.
You may arrive as early as 11am on Friday, November 15th and bring a picnic lunch to enjoy. Camp will provide delicious meals after working up an appetite from your labor of love. The first served meal will be dinner.
It’s amazing how much we can accomplish together!
We have room for 30 energetic and generous, individuals, age 11 and older, who are willing to spend a little “sweat equity” at Camp. You’ll leave knowing your efforts are appreciated by the staff and will ensure that future campers have a safe and wonder experience at Camp.
Wear enclosed shoes and old clothing. We also highly recommend bringing a pair of work gloves with you.
You don’t have to come for the whole time — If you need to leave early on Saturday afternoon that’s okay too. But if you can stay the whole weekend, think of what we can accomplish together! Just let us know in the registration form if you plan to leave early. This information will help us plan tasks and meals.
COVID UPDATE: Camp no longer requires proof of vaccination at check-in, however, you will be required to show a negative Rapid Test result upon arrival before mingling with other campers. More details to follow closer to the event. Click here to read the updated policy in full.
