Beaver Service Weekend
June 4-6, Heritage Reservation invites everyone to camp for a weekend of projects to help get camp ready for the upcoming summer. The focus is on preparing the facilities for the summer season including setting up tents, preparing the waterfronts and spring cleaning in all the buildings. Entire units, small groups and individuals are welcome to stay in canvas wall tents at Camp Independence for free - or bring your own tent and stay in one of the Boy Scout camps. Anyone who participates in the service will be served three meals on Saturday and one meal on Sunday for free. This is a great weekend of fellowship and service and also allows you to take part and pride in the great place Heritage Reservation is. Register online using the Online Registration System.
Materials and Equipment Needs
The best camps need the best equipment. However this is often out of our price range so we rely on assistance. Check out the online needs list and contact the Camping Director to help.
Summer Service Projects
Throughout the summer, many camp improvement projects are in the works. Check our project list online and in the Program Halls to see what is going on while you will be attending. If you can help, contact the Camping Director. Tools can be checked out or you may bring your own.
Construction Crew
Since the beginning days of Heritage, we have prided ourselves in maintaining the camps using volunteer laborers for many different projects. Did you know all the roofs at Heritage were redone by volunteers? Or that all the boating docks were built at an OA service weekend? Don’t worry, we have projects as simple as painting a door or installing a light. The Crew does everything from simple maintenance to major remodeling and repairs. Whatever it takes to make our Council camps the best. Interested in helping out? Click here for more information and we can find you a project!
