The entire family is invited to lend a hand this spring at Miniwanca and Merrowvista!
This year, Volunteer Weekend takes place April 28 to 30 at Miniwanca and May 12 to 14 at Merrowvista.
Current and former camp families, seasonal staff, adult program alumni, and those new to camp are all welcome. These are family-oriented weekends, and age-appropriate projects and activities will be available. Attendees younger than 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Participants will gather Friday evening and share a meal while they connect with old friends and make new ones.
Saturday will focus on service to the sites. Volunteers will clean, rake, dig, paint, repair, and replace to help prepare these beautiful spaces for the hundreds of participants who will visit in 2023.
The rest of the weekend will be filled with games, socializing, free time, Community Fire, and a reflection on service.
Volunteer Weekends is free and include housing and food, including dinner on Friday evening, three meals on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. The American Youth Foundation asks that you consider making a donation to help cover the costs of this weekend.
