Opportunity Details

Camp Tyler is in need of volunteers to help us maintain and beautify gardens and other property around buildings. Tasks include sweeping sidewalks, walkways, and ramps; raking and/or weeding gardens; planting and/or watering flowers. These may seem meaningless but these tasks enhance the experience of all patrons of Camp Tyler. Our cabins especially are surrounded by woods so debris builds up. The resident animals take shelter in this debris and often find their way into our cozy cabins. Removing the debris is key to the safety of our patrons as well as maintaining the beauty of the campus.
