We all love our camps, and the camps love when we help keep them nice! Whether you are a youth or an adult, have “skills” or not, we have opportunities for you to show the love to your camps. Scroll down for our options:
- Scrub and Grub (formerly “I Love My Camp”) – for youth and adults (great weekend camping opportunity!)
- Mix Fix – for adults with some skills — work on some of the larger projects
- Chainsaw Safety Training – for adults 21+ that would like to learn how to use a chainsaw at a camp and help clear trees/brush
