Difficulty Rating: Easy/Moderate
Project Times: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Meeting Location: Sanborn Western Camps
Workday Description:
Sanborn Western Camps is a great place for kids to learn a wealth of skills, social & physical. Sanborn Western Camps’ mission is to live together in the outdoors, building a sense of self, sense of community, a sense of the Earth, and a sense of Wonder through fun and adventure. Most of the trails at Sanborn Western Camps are for multiple uses, and are used heavily. Together we will restore trails to make sure they are safe for use. Protecting and maintaining these trails is a great way to continue to protect and give back to the public lands we love. We will be maintaining the trails with pick mattocks, cutter mattocks, Pulaskis and other hand tools.
All work is dependent upon environmental factors – unpredictable weather, runoff and soil movement may alter project and location details.

What to Expect:
This project is located in exposed mountain environments. Please be aware and prepared for potential hazards, including but not limited to: driving on mountainous roads with snow, ice and/or loose gravel; exposure to sun, wind, lightning and rapidly changing weather conditions; possible falling trees; and hiking at significant elevation. Medications may have adverse effects in sun, heat or altitude. Please list medications and medical conditions on the CUSP release form so staff may be aware of potential concerns. Know your limitations and inform staff immediately if you become ill or injured. Be prepared to exit quickly in the event of an emergency or changing environmental conditions.
