Re: Camp work days
If it works best for you to arrive the evening before, you are welcome. Bring a warm sleeping bag.

Please let camp director the Rev. John Galbraith know if you are planning to attend so he can prepare food and the jobs to be done. Please connect with others and bring them a long too, if you can.

If you have any questions, email John.
