We would like to invite you to our annual Work Weekends. This is an adults-only volunteer weekend in late May and early June where valued members of the Lair community get a behind-the-scenes look at the Lair and help us get camp ready for the summer. This is a fun and rewarding weekend, full of hard work to give all three camps a big push to be ready for hosting campers all summer long. Work Weekends will be May 17-19 and May 31 – June 2, 2024. 

We’ll work, play, work, eat, work, and have some fun together. The weekend begins Friday evening at 5:00 pm with a welcome mixer, followed by a hearty Lair dinner. After breakfast on Saturday morning, we’ll begin the hard work, which includes deep cleaning, mulching, sticking, painting, hauling, raking, rail splitting, and other miscellaneous tasks that need to get done. We’ll break for lunch and work till Saturday’s evening mixer and dinner. Sunday we’ll get up and have breakfast and work till lunch.

If you can join us, please RSVP for May 17 weekend via this link and RSVP for May 31 weekend via this link. Space is limited, so check your calendar and sign-up soon! Don’t forget to include your tee shirt size!

If someone will be joining you, please have them fill out the sign up form separately. If you have a friend who hasn’t joined us for Work Weekend before but would like to help us, please feel free to forward this email along. 

We’ll have more information in the following weeks and feel free to spread the word!

Note: this weekend is for adults only. Young adults, 18 or older, are welcome to come if they are willing to work!

We’re so grateful for the Lair community and feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
