Volunteer

Volunteers continue to perform the major maintenance requirements assisted by various town departments. Many improvements have been accomplished during the past five years. An incomplete summary can be found here at View Accomplishments. Most of the expenses for materials and heavy equipment required for improvements were funded by The Friends of Camp Denison and by many generous individual and corporate donors.

Camp Denison relies on the support of volunteers to maintain the conservation area and its facilities.

People are always needed to keep the grounds in shape. Raking leaves, removing undesirable brush, picking up dead tree limbs, seasonal upkeep, winterizing the facilities, sign making, painting, picking up litter along the shores of Baldpate Pond and Nelson Street and much more.

We also want to sponsor environmental and cultural programs for interested people. They could be one night affairs or a series of lectures or activities. We need people to plan and prepare educational activities for the public or private groups.

Other Possible Community Projects School Projects Scout Projects Build new trail bridges Build Trail Map Display Re-hab grill sites Erosion Control Plantings Paint signs Maintain trails Organized trash pickup along Nelson Street, Boxford State Forest at Baldpate Pond and Camp Denison. General cleanup of the facilities and property.

Camp Denison also has a supporting group of citizens called "The Friends of Camp Denison" who regularly meet to work and discuss work projects, priorities, and sponsor fund raising activities including a volunteer appreciation luncheon for the many people who donate their time and energy to the camp and a spring fund raising dance that is a big event and lots of fun. We need people to organize the events and help plan and prepare, send invitations, get sponsors and sell tickets. We also have a work group of retirees who meet to work on a project every Tuesday morning from 9 am until noon.

Additional ideas and hands for Camp Denison are always welcomed.
We are always looking for volunteers and programming instructors to help maintain the grounds and to provide valuable resources for the public. If you, your group, or anyone you know would like to participate in particular projects or provide particular programming please drop us a line campdenison@campdenison.com
