PLUM DAY of SERVICE

Saturday, April 27^th

Please join your brothers and sisters of PLUM as we come together to be of service to Camp Lutherlyn as they prepare for their 2024 season.

Lutherlyn Spring Work Day - Saturday, April 27, 2024 - 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

It takes a lot of hands to prepare Lutherlyn for the thousands of people who will visit throughout the spring and summer. In addition to our quickly approaching Summer Camp programs, Lutherlyn also hosts thousands of people who visit on Environmental Education field trips, participate in Adventure and team building programs, and take lessons at the Equestrian Center.

Flower beds need to be weeded, firewood needs to be cut, fences need to be repaired, sticks and leaves need to be removed, as well as a variety of other jobs for volunteers of all ages and skill levels.

Lutherlyn provides all of the tools (and a lunch prepared by Chef Lisa) and our volunteers provide the willing hands!

We are looking for responsible chainsaw owners to bring a chainsaw and cut up some down trees for us. You can take logs with you to split for firewood.

We can't do it without you!
