What to Expect in May & Volunteer Weekend

Shadowcliff has a rich history of volunteerism, especially visible during the month of May when Grand Lake starts waking up from winter! There are two phases of efforts in May with different point persons and different needs:

 

  • Early to Mid-May: Skilled Volunteers

While Volunteer Weekend provides a variety of opportunities for people of any age or skill level, Shadowcliff also routinely has a number of pre-season projects that require more specialized labor, completed by small teams. These projects often involve more substantial construction, assessment and/or repair of facilities. These efforts are organized by Shadowcliff's Facilities Committee.

  • Volunteer Weekend: General Volunteers

Always held on Memorial Day weekend, Shadowcliff's Volunteer Weekend is a great opportunity for helpers of many ages. No special skills are required. Lodging and some meals will be provided during the weekend. Examples of work planned for Volunteer Weekend include: Assisting with meals for the group, cleaning windows and surfaces, vacuuming and carpet cleaning, replacing light fixtures, laundry, outdoor work on the property, and more.
