May – June 2021
In a typical year, we would all gather together for Bearskin Meadow Camp Work Weekend in late May. Due to safety concerns and local restrictions in place this year, we are adapting our opportunities for individuals, families and groups to volunteer and help get our space ready for our summer 2021 camp sessions.
There’s a lot to be done at Bearskin Meadow Camp this year to prepare for re-opening! Help us wake her from her winter slumber and be ready to welcome hundreds of campers home this summer.
We are extremely grateful for your past and present support of DYF programs, especially the work it takes to get our site ready for programs. We look forward to offering BMC Work Weekend again in 2022.
