Join us as we Get Camp Ready for a New Season!  We provide the food, snacks, and housing!  

Weekend:
This year we will set up work crews on Friday night, work during the day on Saturday. Saturday evening we will have a campfire and take a night walk. Sunday we will relax and just finish up loose ends. It's fun working together!  Older kids who are "Good Workers" may help too!  Volunteers will also keep younger kids busy! 

PROJECTS INCLUDE:

Skilled trades:  rewire cabins, add new service to program areas, install new sinks, fix underground valves, re-shingle cabins, drywall storerooms, repair vehicles, service heaters, paint inside of cabins and more!  Contact us for specific needs.

Other skills:  sewing curtains, clearing trails, raking leaves, general repairs, cabin spruce up, garbage pick up, fixing wheel chair ramps, digging out beach ramp, opening up kitchen for season, cutting firewood, repairing roofs and lots of other jobs according to need. 

Equipment:

Please bring along tools of your trade!  We do have some tools, but not enough to outfit the entire gang!  If you have rechargeable tools bring your re-charger and we will set them up in the dining hall!  Trimmers, power washers, electric screwdrivers, chainsaws and shop vacs are always needed.  Bulldozers, backhoes, tractors, bucket trucks, and trailers are needed as well.

Gloves and water bottles come in handy for everybody and it is good to bring them for the kids too!
