Opening Day at Cross Roads: A Work-Day for All Ages!

Saturday, May 21, 2022

Join us for “Opening Day at Cross Roads,” a fun work-day event. Individuals, youth groups, families, and congregational groups are invited to come to camp to volunteer with a few projects as we get camp ready for the summer season. It will be a day of fun, fellowship, and giving back to camp (and can even count towards service hours for teenagers looking to fulfill their requirements!). There will be projects for all skill levels. If you have special skills or tools (chain saws, leaf blowers, etc.) please bring them with you! Lunch will be included.
