Helping Out at Unicamp

Community Building Work Weekends

A great way to meet the people who are the heart and soul of Unicamp – a great bonding experience! and what a DEAL! Reduced fees for food and accommodation in exchange for just 6 (SIX) hours of work on Saturday and 3 (THREE) on Sunday in the spring and fall, both beautiful times of the year when nature at Unicamp is in transition.

Jobs include painting, carpentry, cleaning, scrubbing, fixing, clearing paths and whatever we need to do to prepare camp for summer or shutdown. This is a great time for new campers to meet others and it is a fantastic time to connect to Unicamp, other Unicampers and old friends. Childcare available on request.

Friday night dinners are at 7 p.m. and are always potluck. Bring something to share. All work materials are provided. Bring old clothes, warm bedding, raingear, gloves (labeled tools, shears, painting equipment would be helpful).

Fees: $35 for 2 day weekend and $45 for 3 day weekend, includes meals from breakfast on Saturday to lunch on Sunday or Monday. These fees are to help with the cost of food and to pay for a cook who is the only paid staff.

Work Weekend – Full-Time Workers are no charge – (12 hours work per weekend). Please apply early to director@unicampofontario.ca. Selection will be based on skills, experience and the needs of the Unicamp buildings and grounds.

Don’t want to work? Just come for fun! Please come prepared to do KP and clean your own accommodation. Regular Unicamp fees less 20%.
