Camp Two of the Mendocino Woodlands
(site is regrettably not accessible to handicapped Persons)

Dean: Kathy Bowman Chefs: Laurin Beckhusen, Dee Dumont and Marlene Abel

The annual volunteer work weekend requires a donation of about seven hours of work on Saturday to help prepare the three camps for the summer season. The work includes setting up tents and cots, sweeping floors, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, as well as special outdoor projects assigned by the Woodlands Staff. We welcome people of all ages and abilities to participate. We will form a childcare cooperative based on the ages of campers.

The remainder of the time may be spent visiting with new and old friends in the beautiful redwood forest, hiking, or sunbathing at the river beaches. We'll have group activities in the evening. There is no electricity or heat in the cabins. Bathrooms are located near the cabins. A light supper awaits you after your drive on Friday night. Enjoy a hot breakfast early Saturday morning and pack a sack lunch on your way to join your work party. There is a big feast Saturday night and a brunch on Sunday morning.

The site is donated by the Mendocino Woodlands. Your registration goes toward actual kitchen costs. Each camper is expected to put in 7 hours of work on Saturday , as well as 1 hour in the dining hall. Everybody cleans up the camp before we depart on Sunday morning.
