Camp Arrowhead needs a helping hand!

We have two shelters that need to be completed before Summer Camp begins on June 7th. The posts are already set, so the remaining work is building the roof structures. A team of volunteers with construction experience could likely complete each shelter in about 4–5 hours.

All materials and supplies are already at camp, we just need some willing hands and construction knowledge to help us get them finished.

If you or someone you know may be able to help, please reach out to Chris Legg or Mark Peterman for details.

Thank you for helping us prepare Camp Arrowhead for another great summer of Scouting!
