What to Expect
Our Memorial Day Work Weekend is the traditional kick-off to our summer season. Each year 100-200 cherished volunteers share their time, talents, and labor to help open Camp for summer sessions. Many volunteer hands make for light work, which means when the work is done there is more time for canoeing, kayaking, sailing, tennis, hiking, or just relaxing.
Opening weekend work activities may include: Raking leaves, moving canoes, pulling weeds, cleaning program buildings, pier installation, clearing roof tops, stuffing binders, laying mulch, splitting firewood, and other necessary tasks.
