Is this you?
 
We are looking for volunteers
Volunteers can provide help during the spring getting the camp ready for summer sessions, can help during camp, or can help during the fall shutting the camp down getting ready for our Wisconsin winters.
Spring Volunteers
We are tentatively planning the first general work session on the weekend of May 16-18.  There may be work weekends each weekend after that until camp starts.  The major final work weekend before camp will be June 6-8.  Please join us for these fun work weekends.
Spring startup work includes the following:
 
  • opening up the barn
  • turning power and water on
  • cleaning out all buildings
  • doing minor repairs as needed
  • mowing lawn and meadows
  • making wood chips using wood chopper
  • spreading wood chips on trails
  • setting up the office and computer
  • install/start up solar panels
  • planting the garden
  • cleaning and moving mattresses to the cabins
  • cleaning the main kitchen
  • cleaning the apartment
  • doing minor repairs as needed
  • cleaning and setting up the barn loft

  • making major repairs
  • building new structures

Summer Volunteers
Summer volunteers help throughout the summer during camp assisting with the garden, food service, arts and crafts, recreational leadership, grounds, maintenance, life guarding, camp craft, nature lore, campfire programs or transporting campers, bikes or canoes.  We seek mature adult volunteers who come from all walks of life.  They may include doctors, nurses, social workers, tradespersons, teachers, business executives, college students, engineers, retirees, and many other 'professions'.
* The volunteer's role varies from working directly with kids in a group setting to supportive positions such as: working in the kitchen preparing meals.
* Each volunteer would have a head counselor or group leader who provides guidance.
* Volunteer schedules could vary.

Fall Volunteers

  • closing up the barn
