Thank you for volunteering for our Christmas event! This event benefits Camp LIGHT, our summer camp for individuals with special needs and at risk youth. Your dedication to helping us make a difference is amazing!
Here is some info you need to know, as well as the answers to some questions you may have. If you have a question not answered below, please let us know! The phone number to call or text us at Creative Works Farm is 540-471-1659. We will contact you prior to the event to confirm your volunteer date(s).
- Volunteers will need to arrive by 4:00pm (3:00pm for parking attendants, ticket check-in volunteers, and hot chocolate volunteers). If you cannot get here by then, please make sure we are aware of what time you will arrive so we can schedule accordingly. Expect to be here until around 9pm or 9:30pm, but you may be a little later if guests are later leaving.
- If for any reason you are running late or unable to be here for the shift you are volunteering for, let us know as soon as possible! Please do your best to be here for any times you have committed to.
- Parking: volunteers will park in the field area closer to the maintenance building/behind fire station unless volunteering at the barn/parking/ticket area. Keep vehicle locked.
- Leave valuables at home if you need to bring something to the event and cannot lock safely in your car, we have lockers available (must provide your own lock). We are not responsible for any items brought to the event.
- Dress code: this is a Christmas event…feel free to dress festive! Keep all attire family friendly. Do not wear high heels or open toed shoes. Ground is uneven in places, and some volunteers will be at the barn with animals. Be sure to wear layers so you can stay warm! You will be given a lanyard style name tag to wear. If volunteering multiple days, you will be responsible for bringing the lanyard each shift.
- Cell phone use: please stay guest focused while you are volunteering at the event. Keep use of cell phones to a minimum.
- Guests may ask about Camp LIGHT. We will have some brochures at the barn, and lots of info at the General store in town. We will also be adding names to our Giving Tree in town with donations of $25, $50, $100, and $300 throughout the event. Guests can learn more about the “Give the Gift of Summer Camp” program or make their donation in the General Store.
- Keep a smile on! Remember, as a volunteer you are a representative of Creative Works Farm and Camp LIGHT!
