Since the very first year
of the camp, in 1927, the entire enterprise has rested on the love and
labor of countless volunteers. With few exceptions, volunteers built
the camp’s buildings, cooked for the crowds, led discussions, sang
for evening campfires, pruned trees and pressed cider, organized projects
for children, did plumbing and wiring, and every other imaginable task.
We still rely on volunteers for a vast amount
of the camp work, including most of our maintenance and construction,
cooking, trail maintenance, wood chopping, cleaning, and so much more.
Also since the beginning, the camp has relied on the community for
generous financial help – for dollars to build the buildings
(and nowadays to repair those buildings!), to create (and recreate)
the water system and other infrastructure, to support the full-time
caretakers or managers.
So there are many ways to get involved. Here are some specifics:
 Come
to a Work Party
These are weekend gatherings
where everyone contributes their labor in return for meals and
good fellowship. Read more here.
Become
a Work Fellow
Work fellows come to camp
for a minimum of 2 weeks – donating 5 1/2 - 6 hours a day
in return for room and board and one day off each week. This is
a wonderful way to experience the camp, and an extremely helpful
way to contribute. Read more here.
Sign
up for Program Staff
Come to camp for a
program and both reduce your fees and help the camp by working
3 - 3 1/2 hours a day. You might be cooking, or gardening, or doing
repair or construction. Being part of the staff will deepen and
enhance your experience of the camp community. Read more here.
Offer
Your Special Skills
If
you have a special skill you think the camp could use and that
you would like to contribute – carpentry,
plumbing, finance, fund raising, cooking, gardening, whatever – let
us know. Contact the managers.
Spread
the Word
