Come help with some construction fun! You can help build, organize lumber, or package materials. We will be pre-building 3 privies in Palmyra- come for one day or both! These privies will be built on-site later this season to replace the existing privies at Baldpate, Hall Mountain, and Rainbow Stream campsites.

Are you new to campsite maintenance? Been at it for a few years, but want a refresher? Or, maybe you've been considering taking on an assignment but want to see what's involved first? Whatever the case, join us at the West Carry Pond Campsite on May 24 for a workshop designed for campsite maintainers! We'll cover the 11 essential steps of a maintenance visit and even tackle a few tasks together.

The Rainbow Stream campsite is getting a new privy, and we need your help! On May 31 - June 1 we'll need all the shoulders we can get to haul the lumber and materials to the campsite. We'll also do the site prep which will involve felling some trees and digging to get a flat surface. Access involves about 1.1 miles of hiking with negligible elevation gain (it's basically flat!). The group will car camp nearby.

The Rainbow Stream campsite is getting a new privy, and we need your help! On June 7-8 (rain dates June 14-15) we'll build the new privy. If needed, we'll also haul in any lumber we didn't get to the site the weekend prior.  Access involves about 1.1 miles of hiking with negligible elevation gain (it's basically flat!). The group will car camp nearby.

The Baldpate campsite is getting a new privy, and we need your help! On June 21 (rain date June 22) we'll do the site prep which will involve felling some trees and digging to get a flat surface. Access involves about 2.4 miles of hiking with 1,500 feet elevation gain.

The Hall Mountain campsite is getting a new privy, and we need your help! On July 19 (rain date July 20) we'll do the site prep which will involve felling some trees and digging to get a flat surface. Access involves about 2.5 miles of hiking with 1,700 feet elevation gain.
