Have you made any plans for your Memorial Day Weekend? May I be so bold as to offer a suggestion? WBC’s Memorial Day Working Weekend is a long standing volunteer event that draws many of the Camp’s veteran volunteers back year after year. They have their favorite jobs and love the fellowship of working alongside others in support of the Camp’s ministry.

Memorial Day Working Weekend is an event that brings volunteers together to help the Camp prepare for the busy summer camping season. Volunteers paint, garden, clean, sew, pressure wash, chop wood, help with The Lights of Christmas projects, provide child care, or help with other important projects.

It’s a great opportunity for individuals, families, and groups to get involved in something significant. When asked what they liked best about volunteering at Working Weekend they said, “It’s the fun of working alongside other people.” Another said, “I love getting a pair of heavy duty pruning sheers and whacking away at something. It’s really gratifying.”

This year, the event runs from May 27-30. Volunteers arrive and get settled in on Friday night. Then the work begins after breakfast on Saturday morning and goes till dinnertime. Sunday is a day of rest and recreation. Then, it’s back to work on Monday morning until dinner when there is a celebration of everything that was accomplished.

If you can only make it for one of the work days, we would still love to have you! You are welcome to stay with us while you volunteer or commute from home. Housing and meals are provided for a small fee.
