April’s opening work weekend focuses on waking Sky Ranch from winter hibernation: unpacking pantries, vehicles, kitchen, deep cleaning, and special projects that need to be accomplished before guests arrive. This weekend has the potential to be somewhat primitive with simple hearty meals, warm sleeping places, fellowship, and limited running water depending on how the water system start-up process is progressing. Lodging and meals are provided at no cost. 

Memorial Day Work Weekend focuses on summer preparation: setting program areas, splitting firewood for campfires, re-mulching paths, organizing the camp store, more deep cleaning, bigger projects such as deck construction and repair, bathroom remodels, siding replacement and paint, picnic table construction, planting the raised garden beds, etc. This weekend is well attended, averaging 40-50 volunteers each year. This is a great weekend for friends and family to enjoy camp and give back. Projects are available for all ages and abilities. Lodging and meals provided at no cost. 

October’s weekend undoes everything we did in April and May; we focus on winterizing buildings and vehicles, pack away fall program items, last chance projects for site/facility needs, split and stack firewood, burn slash piles, and tidy up camp for the winter. Lodging and meals provided at no cost.
