Work Week
2024 Spring Work Week Dates:
Adult Work Week May 3-12,2024
Have you ever wanted to give back to Camp Onaway now that you are an adult? Work Week is your chance to put your “skills” to work. We need help painting, stacking firewood, cleaning, constructing, and a laundry list of other tasks in order to prepare Onaway for the 1,000 youth who will be staying at our island.
Coleader Work Weekend | May 17-19, 2024
Coleader Work Weekend is a great opportunity to hang out with other 10th-12th grade Brigaders and show some love to the island at the same time! We need help with a laundry list of other tasks in order to prepare Onaway for the 1,000 youth who will be staying at our island this summer.
You can also drop by/call the Brigade office at (920) 725-3983, or you can email us at brigade@bgbrigade.com to sign up and let us know what day(s) you’re able to come.
