Activity Notes
Fall is here, and it is time to return to the lodge to get it ready for snow season! We will be hosting our classic workday, with our fall agenda focusing on resetting the lodge after summer programs and projects.
The lodge will open up Friday night for those who would like to stay the night before. We will send out follow-up emails with more details on the day's projects and activities as well as with guidance on how to sign up for overnight stays.
The workday is Saturday, from 9 am – 4 pm. Below you will find a list of the various projects throughout the lodge. We have projects for all skill levels, from more technical work around the facility to cleaning and picking up fallen limbs around the property.
Lunch will be served around 1 p.m., which will include options for most common diets, including Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten Free. If you have other specific allergies, we will try to accommodate with what we have but please come prepared for your own special needs.
The work day generally wraps up around 4 p.m., where we will take a lovely group photo.
For those interested, the lodge will remain open through Sunday morning for those who would like to stay Saturday night. Bedding is not provided, so please bring your sleeping bag and a top sheet if you prefer for the mattresses. We will not be serving additional meals, however all who stay are welcome to our lunch leftovers!
Thank you again for joining us this weekend. The lodge represents the home of the Mazamas on Mt. Hood - and without volunteers like you - the Mazamas and our Lodge could not be successful!
Please note, all volunteers will need to have completed the volunteer waiver. You did this online if you registered for the work party. Family & guests are welcome, but will also be required to complete the waiver. Copies will be available on site.
Our workday will constitute the following:
- Removing and storing shutters
- Cleaning - public spaces, restrooms, kitchen
- Organizing - Storage spaces (Tools, Kitchen, Clackamas Room, etc)
- Outdoor Cleanup of Mazama Ski Hill and Grounds
- Some light carpentry projects - BYO tools if this is what you'd like to do!
- Some maintenance tasks as supplies are available to include painting and repairs.
<br> We hope to see you there!
