Rock Island Opening Volunteer Clean Up Weekend

Description

Do you love Rock Island State Park and want to give back? Consider joining us for the annual park clean-up opening weekend. 

Volunteers will coordinate with the Friends of Rock Island and the Park Manager to open the Lighthouse, the Boathouse and many other buildings, prepare the campground and get everything ready for the park season to begin. 

Free camping may be available for volunteers. Please register for this event by emailing us at FriendsOfRockIsland@gmail.com.

Friends of Rock Island will coordinate with the DNR to have transportation from Jackson Harbor (on Washington Island) to Rock Island at 9 a.m. with a return trip to Jackson Harbor no later than 4 p.m. each day. One ferry is necessary to get to Washington Island with a 10-minute drive to Jackson Harbor. This event is recommended for all abilities and ages. This event will happen in any weather, rain or shine. Dress in layers according to the weather.  

Consider Bringing: Water, snacks, lunch, insect repellent, rain clothing, work gloves, hat, sunscreen, backpack with supplies, hiking boots (for those camping: personal backpackable camping gear)
