Volunteer Opportunity- Pocahontas State Park

Volunteer Opportunity- Pocahontas State Park

You are invited to join 14 other volunteer campers in a project to refurbish some Community Conservation Corps-built group cabins at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield, VA to preserve them for new generations.

Dates are October 28 through November 3 & 4, 2018. 

In exchange for a week of free camping, the volunteers will work together to effect essential repairs to these structures, doing painting, light carpentry and roof repairs. After work sessions, you will get a chance to relax and enjoy some of the park’s extensive offerings. There are miles of hiking trails and nationally recognized mountain-biking trails. There will also be an opportunity to learn more about the CCC at Pocahontas by touring the park’s CCC museum, housed in one of the original buildings. Other fun activities are being planned such as hayrides and campfires to balance the work time with leisure.

Email Volunteer Coordinator Andi Clinton to express interest or learn more, as space is limited.
