60th Anniversary Shine-Up Work Day
What is it? The "Shine-Up" is a one-day, all-hands-on-deck volunteer event to prepare Inspiration Hills Camp for its milestone 60th Anniversary celebration. It is a day of community service where we tackle the "visual" projects—cleaning, painting, and clearing—that our small staff cannot do alone.
The Goal: To polish the camp so it looks its absolute best for the thousands of guests and alumni visiting during our Diamond Anniversary season. We aren't just fixing buildings; we are preserving the backdrop of 60 years of memories.
Who is it for? Everyone! We have organized the work into three "Crews" so people of all skill levels can contribute:
Paint & Polish Crew: For those who want to see immediate results (Painting cabins, waxing floors).
Demo & Debris Squad: For those who like heavy lifting and outdoor work (Clearing brush, moving materials).
Detail & Finish Team: For those who are handy with tools or meticulous (Installing gutter guards, fixing windows).
When & Where?
Date: Saturday, May 2, 2026
Time: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Meets at the Dining Hall.
Perks: Breakfast (Coffee/Donuts) and Lunch (Cookout) are provided for all volunteers.
Why does it matter? By relying on volunteers for labor, we save thousands of dollars that can go directly toward purchasing high-quality materials (like new metal roofs and plumbing fixtures) rather than paying for contractors. Your time literally buys us better equipment!
