Project Work Weekend 2010

Come join the Friends of Crater Lake for a fun filled weekend of camping, food, and meaningful work to help Crater Lake National Park. There will be free entrance to the park and free campsites at Mazama for those participating. Evening meals are provided by the Friends. Provide your own breakfast and lunch. You may opt not to camp, and only work and join us for the evening meal..

The project this year will be somewhat a repeat of last year, in that we will again power wash the campground amphitheater so that park visitors will have nice clean benches to sit on for the evening programs. We will also paint another signpost, this time at the west entrance to the park. It is peeling and badly in need of paint. There may very well be other tasks added.

There will also be a more or less sedentary task for 2 people per day at the Community House. We are participating in a Pilot Project to show videos to park visitors during the day at this location. This task would involve setting up chairs and turning a projector on and off and announcing the topic of the film. There may be questions to answer, but in depth knowledge can be found at the Rim Visitor Center across the road, so the person filling this job need only know basics like where the restrooms are, etc. (This project will be on-going during the entire month of August and weekends only during September for those interested but not able to come for Project Weekend.)

Bring work clothes, gloves, suntan lotion, and mosquito repellent. Please RSVP soon so we know how many campsites to reserve and how much food to buy.
