LUNCHES: We are planning a soup and sandwiches lunch for workers who are at camp over the noon hour. Expect a basic lunch that might include soup, sandwich makings, and other typical lunch foods.

Those who have other food preferences or allergies need to plan to bring items to supplement the planned lunch.

Please indicate below whether you will be eating lunch with us at camp.

I and my group will eat the lunch provided.

Are you or anyone in your group vegetarian?

The site team is working on prioritizing what needs to be done and will assign you tasks appropriate for you and your group (and your skill level) quickly upon arrival. At the time this registration form was completed, we anticipate the following types of work may be available. How much we can do depends on how many people attend. Our plans could change or expand. Please note that this list is likely incomplete; we may have additional tasks to assign by the time the work day arrives -- but the list gives you a notion of the types of work we hope to get completed.

Other jobs we identify before the work day

Camp has tools like rakes, shovels, brooms, etc. and some power and hand tools needed for dealing with branches and saplings. But sometimes we can accomplish more if you bring tools of your own. Do you or any in your group have any of the following tools you can bring for your group to use? (We will have some tools at camp, but we also depend on borrowing additional tools from participants in the work day.)

What to bring and wear:

Wear clothing appropriate for the expected weather (remember it can be a good deal cooler in the woods than in a city)
Wear sturdy close-toed shoes or boots
Bring gardening or leather gloves if you will be working outside
Bring rubber gloves for cleaning
Bring a rain jacket or poncho if rain is predicted
Bring a personal water bottle (we will have refill stations available)
Consider whether you need insect or tick repellent. Ticks have been pretty bad this year.
Bring any personal tools you listed above

Optional: Please check below if you need an official letter from us documenting service hours.
