Weekend Warrior Projects

Projects updated 11/20/09

The Washington Family Ranch is built on the foundation of volunteer labor.  Tens of thousands of volunteer hours have brought this property to where it is today, everything from new construction to routine tasks and maintenance.  Below you will find our current needs for volunteer help- ways for you to come and partner with our staff as we continue to make the Washington Family Ranch a place where kids experience “the best week of their lives!”

Read on for more details, or skip down to the bottom for a list of current projects.

Scheduling

Many of the dates found below will be weekends- but we can accept volunteers 7 days a week and for more than just a weekend, so be sure to contact us regarding your available schedule.

Housing & Meals

We will provide housing, meals, and do our best to open up the Washington Family Sports Center for you each evening and a meeting room for worship, games, etc., unless otherwise noted with the project. 

We also have an RV park that is open year round that can accommodate any size vehicle.  Electricity, water, and sewer connections are available at the RV Park.

How many people?

All projects will list the crew size we are hoping for.  It would be ideal if you are able to round up the entire crew required to complete a project, but we know that may not be possible.  Contact us as soon as possible so we can work to schedule you with another crew that may be required for larger projects.

Tools & Skills

If specific tools, equipment or skills are required for a project, that will be noted.

How do I sign up?

Contact our office by e-mail or by calling (541) 489-3100 and ask about our Weekend Warrior Projects to get more information regarding a project or to schedule a visit.  We are looking forward to serving with you!
