Hearts and Hands - Fall 2024 DRAFT

October 15 – 19, 2024, Flexible dates

Feel the dirt between your fingers and smell the crisp fall air. Naramata Centre is welcoming volunteers to find a connection to Earth during our Fall Cleanup. Join us as we tend to the grounds in reverence to nature.

Rooms/campsites are provided to volunteers at no cost, but part of your volunteer service will include the cleaning of your accommodations.

Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own tools, safety glasses, gloves, and so on.  However, the Naramata Centre will have some extra tools and equipment on hand with extra precautions taken for proper sanitization between uses.

Use this time as an opportunity to find peace and serenity in the outdoors while giving back to the community.

Schedule:

We suggest volunteers arrive by Tuesday to meet fellow volunteers and Centre Staff at a group dinner Tuesday evening. Come stay for all four nights or stay for just a couple. Local volunteers are also encouraged to join us during any days they are available (whether or not dates are consecutive).

Work days will be Wednesday through Friday. We will begin each day at 9:00 am and break for lunch at 12:00 pm. Afternoon work is optional.

We will finish work on Friday morning with Friday afternoon reserved for cleaning and preparation for departure Saturday morning at 10AM.

Lunch will be provided Wednesday through Friday
