Hands on at Camp
Mark your calendar for
April 28-29, 2012
to be part of Camp Hitaga's
"Alumni Work Weekend"
Work Days are every Saturday in April - you would be most welcome to help at any of them! The weekend of April 28-29 will be a special time for Alumni to gather together at camp to help with spring cleaning and improvements, to share each others company.
Typical Work Day tasks include:
* Cleaning and moving mattresses back to seasonal cabins * Sweeping and resupplying seasonal theaters * sorting and inventorying craft supplies and other program materials * Painting inside and out * washing windows * fixing screens * litter patrol * leaf raking * special projects for those with specific plumbing, electrical, carpentry or other skills * etc.
It's all more fun when done by large, friendly groups!
Agenda and pre-registration details TBA.
Sign up for updates, or volunteer to help organize the event!
