      This Day of Service project is designed for adults, but family members 14 years or older who are prepared to participate are welcome to register along with their parents/guardians.

      Parking is limited at the Stony Creek dock area; plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early to find parking. Participants should prepare to encounter uneven terrain and poison ivy as well as ticks. A hat and sunscreen are recommended, and volunteers should wear supportive, closed-toe footwear and comfortable outdoor work clothes that can get dirty.

      Participants will catch the ferry from the Stony Creek Dock at 12:30 pm and receive an orientation on Horse Island at 1:00 pm. You will be able to choose the projects(s) you'd like to work on for the morning. Please feel free to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the grounds. You'll return to the Stony Creek Dock between 4:30 and 5:00 pm.

      The program will run in light rain, but in the event of significant inclement weather we will move to our rain dates of Friday, May 17, and Saturday, May 18, please hold those on your calendar if possible!
