Annual Overnight Work Weekend
Join CBMBA for a weekend of trail work and community building!
What: Each year, CBMBA volunteers come out for a full weekend of trail work and good times. RSVP (to info@cbmba.org) is required for a head count for food and space for camping.
When: Saturday 8/16 and Sunday 8/17, beginning work at 10am each day. Please RSVP.
Where: We will be working on the Lake Irwin Trail and camping up at Lake Irwin. Drive up to the lake and you will see the CBMBA tent set up where you kind get info on camping and parking.
Details: The point of these overnights is to get deep in there, and b/c of that, we stay there overnight! We’re supported by Rim Tours and food is provided for Saturday night, Sunday morning, and for a Sunday lunch. Work will begin on Saturday morning at 10am. We’ll break up into multiple groups, each with a crew leader, and head to a section of trail for instruction followed by construction. After a full day of work, everyone will head back to the campsite at 4pm to enjoy plenty of libations, followed by stellar raffle prizes and backcountry catering by Rim Tours. Volunteers are invited to camp out on-site, enjoy a campfire and laughs, and then wake up Sunday morning to coffee, breakfast, and a make-your-own sandwich bar provided by Rim Tours, before getting back to work.
What To Bring: Work gloves, long pants, hat, boots or sturdy shoes, backpack for items you want on the trail, water and snacks for Saturday (we recommend you carry 2 liters on trail), sunscreen, camping gear and warm clothes for Saturday night. Lots of water – can’t have enough! Bring enough food outside of the meals that Rim Tours will provide. Bring a towel so you can enjoy the Norra Dalen Nordic Sauna and then jump into Lake Irwin!
What We Supply: Tools, water at the campsite, Saturday dinner, Sunday breakfast, Sunday lunch, beer, campsite, backcountry bathrooms.
Don’t miss this family-friendly community event! Camping is optional but encouraged. Please RSVP to info@cbmba.org if you intend to camp and/or have meals with us so we can plan accordingly.
