Registration Deadline: Wednesday, October 7

Lend a hand at Trail Ridge as we tackle a variety of outdoor projects! One of our main post-summer tasks is clearing out dead trees throughout the camp property. With a project of this size, many hands make light work! We are looking for volunteers with skills in running a chain saw, those that can split and stack wood, and people willing to haul branches. We'll plan on starting work at 8 AM on Thursday morning the 15th (breakfast beforehand at 7:30 AM) and wrap up around 4 PM on Saturday, October 17th. If you are available for all three days, or even just for part of a day, we can use you!

Staff and volunteers will work together throughout the weekend. This is not a retreat, but there will certainly be time for fun and fellowship during our evening down times. Meals and overnight lodging will be provided for all volunteers.
