Project
Nehemiah 2008
Project Nehemiah is our volunteer work weekend for adults, youth and children. This work weekend is designed to repair and renovate our buildings, to landscape the camp grounds, and to prepare the camp for the upcoming summer season. It’s a chance to join together as the Angeles Crest family to keep our facilities in tip-top shape!!
The Date: Friday and Saturday, May
9 &10th
There are a number of options for the work weekend...
This year we will be offering "starter
projects" on Friday. If you'd like to come up on Friday (as a group or as
an individual) then these starter projects will help us get a jump start for the
main work day on Saturday.
If you want to arrive early for the main
work day, you can head up to the camp on Friday night so that you're ready to go
bright and early on Saturday morning.
Please let us know if you are planning to come up on Friday so we can make
arrangements for food and sleeping arrangements.
If you'd like only to work on Saturday that
is fine too! Saturday is always the main work day and we have many people
who will arrive early before breakfast and put in a full work day.
New this year will be our Saturday evening worship service!
You can work during the day, stay for dinner and then enjoy an evening worship
service in the mountains. (Remember that Sunday, May 11th is Mother's
Day so most people want to be home honoring moms!).
The Cost:
$20 per individual or a maximum of $60 per family
(The registration cost will help us to cover our food expenses)
Meals:
3 meals will be provided on
Friday (for those working on the starter projects) and 3 meals will be provided
for Saturday.
(We will offer some pizza for all of those who are coming up and staying over
on Friday evening.)
Housing:
There are three housing options: Cabins, RV parking, Tent
camping
