Work Weekends at Camp Van Vac
What are work weekends? On the first weekend in May and the first weekend in October, we invite our guests and friends to come up to Camp to work and stay free. We provide meals and lodging, and our friends help us haul wood, roof a cabin, rake leaves, handle boats, open or close cabins, and do basic maintenance. Story telling, too much food, and great camaraderie are the rule.

If you'd like to come, call Nancy jo to confirm dates and/or ask questions. We'd love to have you. Bring work gloves, a sleeping bag, favorite tools, beverages (we provide coffee, milk and juice), and musical instruments.

Here are scenes from past work weekends:
