Kick off the summer by giving back at Mt. Cross during our Memorial Day Volunteer Event, running from Friday afternoon through Saturday evening. This free event invites individuals and families to help prepare camp for the season ahead through meaningful, hands-on projects. Volunteers will work alongside staff and other members of the Mt. Cross community, sharing meals, worship, and time together under the redwoods. No special skills are needed, just a willingness to help and be part of the community.

Participants are welcome to come for a few hours, a day, or the full event. The weekend includes shared meals, an opening worship gathering, and a community celebration on Saturday night, making it a great way to reconnect with Mt. Cross while making a real impact.
