Volunteering
Is this you?

We are looking for volunteers

We welcome volunteers who can help in many ways. There are spring and fall work weekends at camp, there are camp fairs during the winter and there is the opportunity to host a gathering to tell friends about the camp. We would welcome offers to design print ads and advise on how to reach more families to tell them about Camp Woodbrooke.

Summer Volunteers

Summer volunteers are invited to help throughout the summer during camp season assisting with the garden, food service, arts and crafts, recreational leadership, grounds mowing, maintenance, life guarding, camp craft, nature lore, campfire programs, or transporting campers, bikes or canoes and other possible ways. We seek mature adult volunteers who come from all walks of life and enjoy being around young people. They may include doctors, nurses, social workers, tradespersons, maintenance persons, teachers, business executives, college students, engineers, retirees, and many other 'professions'. Please contact us to talk about what you might be able to offer.

Work Weekends

We invite you to join us as we get camp ready in the spring and for fall work weekends shutting the camp down to get ready for our Wisconsin winters. We share meals and have a lot of fun working together. These are the 2010 spring weekends that have already been scheduled (unpredictable weather may force some alternative dates.):

April 17: It probably won’t be warm enough to stay overnight, but we will start inspecting for winter damage, plan some specific work projects and turn on the electrical power and water systems.
May 8: Planting some of the garden will be one of the projects.
May 15-16: Cleaning cabins and the showerhouse to get ready for an open house on the 16th.
June 5-6: The final weekend before camp staff arrive.

Please contact us if you are interested. We would also welcome help with spring mowing and gardening even if you aren’t available these weekends.

Outreach at Camp Fairs

We will be participating in the following camp fairs and would welcome volunteer help during these days:

January 31: Celebrating Youth at the Monona Terrace in Madison
February 9: Camp counselor fair at UW-Stevens Point
February 27: Camp Fair in Milwaukee
March 28: Coulee Parenting Connection Family Fun Fair in La Crosse.
