Volunteer: Camp Watia Community Clean-Up Day

This summer, hundreds of campers will arrive at Camp Watia ready for confidence, friendships, and life-changing memories. Before they do — we need you.
This is your chance to help prepare Camp Watia for an unforgettable summer as we celebrate 10 years of life-changing camp experiences!

Join us for an afternoon of hands-on service, teamwork, and stewardship as we get camp ready to welcome hundreds of campers. Your effort will directly shape the environment where kids build confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories.

Grounds Clean-Up: Picking up sticks, leaves, and debris across camp property, including cabin areas, trails, and common spaces. Landscaping Support: Mulching, light raking, weeding, and refreshing landscaped areas around key program spaces.Cabin Prep: Sweeping out cabins, wiping down surfaces, organizing supplies, and helping prepare spaces for camper arrival. Trail & Outdoor Space Maintenance: Clearing small branches from walking paths and ensuring safe access to activity areas. Painting & Staining (as needed): Assisting with light touch-up painting or staining projects under staff supervision.General Beautification Projects: Helping with small projects that enhance the overall appearance and readiness of camp.

Every task contributes to creating a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for families.

Why It Matters

Camp doesn’t just “open” for summer — it’s built by the community.
Your service ensures campers arrive to a space that feels cared for, prepared, and ready for transformation.

When you volunteer, you’re not just cleaning up grounds — you’re investing in confidence, character, and connection for the youth we serve.
