We host official volunteer workdays once a month. Check the calendar (or link to calendar) to see our next volunteer opportunity. If you can’t make the work party but still wish to volunteer, please contact us. We are happy to have you whenever you can volunteer your time. We have small and large tasks, including maintenance of equipment, mowing, painting, landscaping, cleaning and clerical tasks. From time to time, we will also solicit help during events for vcheck-ins, parking attendants, trail guides and more!

There is no age limit for volunteering, although some projects are not appropriate for young children. We encourage volunteerism at all ages and can help find the right fit. If you would like to volunteer with your child under the age of 12, please contact us for an age appropriate project.

Yes! Thanks to our amazing community of donors, we have paid off our mortgage, and Deer Lake is debt free! That allows us to shift our fundraising focus to much needed infrastructure and program upgrades. Upcoming projects include replacing docks and waterfront fencing, rebuilding our chapel, renovating DaRos Lodge and building a four-season shower house, with nurse’s quarters and meeting space. We are also focused on making Deer Lake a safe and inclusive place for all starting with building our adaptive climbing and boating programs.
