Join us for a day of fun, fellowship and a bit of hard work as we continue to develop the Barbara C. Harris Camp & Conference Center.  Be a part of our Annual Volunteer Work Day on May 14, 2011.

The day provides opportunities for you and members of your church to join others from the diocese in providing hands-on support to this important ministry.  Whatever your skills or interests, you'll find opportunities to make an important contribution to the future of the camp.  Whether it be with a paint brush or a hammer, a rake or broom, or just lending a helping hand, you can make a difference. 
 

What will we be doing?

The camp has a number of important projects that it could use help with. Some of these include:

  • Building hiking trails
  • Painting cabin exteriors
  • Constructing canoe and kayak storage racks
  • Cleaning buildings closed for the winter
  • Adding mulch to the low and high ropes courses
  • Building a new campfire area
 
Can our church group pick a particular project for the Work Day?

If you are coming as part of a church group and have a particular idea in mind or specialized skills you'd like to contribute, we'd be happy to work with you to find just the right project.  Call us at (603) 547-3400 to discuss. 

 
What should we bring?

Volunteers are encouraged to bring basic
hand tools (hammers, handsaws, etc.) and garden tools (rakes, shovels, etc.)  Those with the proper skills and experience are also encouraged to bring power tools such as drills, circular saws and chainsaws. Everyone should come dressed to work outdoors and bring along work gloves.

Can anyone attend?

We'd welcome the help of anyone of wants to participate. However, we do ask that youth be supervised by their parents or adults from their church.



Can we spend the night?
