Description: Join AMC Boston’s 20s & 30s for a volunteer work weekend at Cold River Camp! Nestled in the quieter Evans Notch region of the White Mountains, this scenic camp needs some preparation before the season begins. We’ll be painting, landscaping, and doing trail maintenance to help get the site ready.
In exchange for your hard work, you’ll receive free lodging for Friday and Saturday night, as well as meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch. Our group will be a dedicated crew of twenty people in their 20s & 30s, working alongside long-time Cold River Camp volunteers of all ages. After the work is done, there may be an opportunity for some optional hikes on Sunday afternoon.
Best of all? Besides your effort, this event is completely free !

A vegan/vegetarian option will always be available to those who have requested vegetarian meals during registration. Life-threatening allergens (i.e. tree nuts and shellfish) are kept separate from the main food prep and communal serving areas, but Cold River Camp cannot guarantee there will not be some chance of cross-contamination and exposure; campers are advised of this risk. Cold River Camp will provide plant-based milk and gluten-free wraps or bread. Because of kitchen limitations, Cold River Camp is unable to accommodate special diets or preferences. We encourage guests to bring what they need to manage personal dietary choices when packing for camp. There is an on-site refrigerator where you may store any meals you brought with you.

LODGINGS We will be spending the night in rustic cabins that have comfortable single beds and a few pieces of other furniture. The cabins themselves do not have electricity, running water, bed sheets, or pillowcases. However, electricity and running water are available in nearby common area buildings on the campground.
CARPOOLING To prioritize accessibility and inclusivity, participants who offer rides, need a ride, or can reach the campground without driving themselves will be given priority during the approval process. P lease include this information when you sign up for the event. Thank you for helping make this event accessible to all!
