Help Improve the NorCal Adventure Area!

One of your Council Camps

Saturday. January 31, 8am to 5 pm

The NorCal Properties Committee want you to come to a Workday on the last Saturday of every month in 2026

Plan now and watch the Council Website and Regular Emails for Future Workday Info

Possible Projects for this Workday include:

Trimming brush at the water spring

Reconnect the spring water source

Check the spring water line for breaks

Burn downed wood

Move piles of cut wood to safe locations for future burning

Tack up insulation in the pump house

Replace roof wooden support posts with sturdy metal outside the Welcome Center

Replace a shower house door

Unclog various rain gutters (ladder work is not for Youth Members)

As you can see, there are many regular maintenance items that need attention.

We also need Cooks, Record Keeps, those with advanced first aid or medical training to fill out the roster

There is something for everyone – no experience needed – we’ll train you

As these are completed, more will be added next month.

Unfinished items will hold over to the next Volunteer Workday

Bring these Tools if you have them:

Pruning shears / saws

Jacks to lift heavy building supports

And of course, you AHMR, Parts A- B1, and B-2
