Forestry Service Weekend 2026

Come join us for a day of service and learning about forestry at Camp Chesebrough! Participants will learn about forestry and help with wildfire prevention measures camp by building and participating in burn piles, if permit approval is granted. Burn piles are an essential part of our wildfire prevention measures at camp, as they reduce the fuel load in our forest.
