Wake up camp
for summer.
Every Memorial Day Weekend, OFRC hosts a volunteer Work Weekend. Friends and supporters help transform camp from its winter slumber to its summer splendor, and volunteers stay and eat for free!
A Weekend of Work & Play
Whether you are a long-time OFRC Family Camper or have never been to camp, volunteers of all ages are welcome. Registration opens March 29, 2027.
Free Stay & Meals
Volunteers receive a FREE stay and meals during Work Weekend. It’s our way of saying thank you for helping get camp ready for families all summer long.
Gloves On, Let’s Go!
Tasks include:
- Raking and gardening
- Tot Lot setup
- Specialized facilities projects
- Painting
- Waterfront setup
- Preparing camp supplies
Plus any extra touches to enhance the magic of camp!
Not All Work
Work Weekend isn’t all work and no play. You’re invited to spend time connecting with nature and with the OFRC community.
