Work Weekends

Two Work Weekends have been scheduled for 2024.

June 7-9, 2024
September 27-29, 2024
Join the LPC community in an exhilarating weekend of repairing, painting, and revitalizing the LPC farmhouse at Freedom, New Hampshire. Mark your calendars for June 16-18 and September 29-October 1, 2023. We welcome volunteers to participate and lend a hand in any way they can.Arriving on Friday, volunteers gather at the LPC-owned campsite to prepare for the weekend’s repairs while enjoying a meal together. Volunteers suss out a bunk. Work teams are formed, considering the wish list from the previous summer’s counselors.

Saturday morning begins with the teams in action, with a range of activities to choose from, such as painting, building pizza ovens, rehanging doors, or overhauling the kitchen. There is a job for everyone. Saturday night is a time for celebration, with a grand potluck, followed by dancing and general merriment.

If you can come, you might consider bringing gloves to wear while cleaning, masks to wear while cleaning (so you don’t breath in the mouse dust), a vacuum cleaner, any power tools you would like to use, weed whacker, and any other useful thing. (Out of an abundance of caution, the LPC-US board also asks that participants test for covid within 24 hours before arrival.)

Please use the discussion board on the Facebook event to arrange carpools.
