Join forces with us to make Earth Day a little greener this year! For the first time, we’re organizing stewardship days across multiple private camps that have listed their land on Hipcamp.
Volunteer projects range from creating trails and gardens to removing invasive plants.
After a day’s work, volunteers are encouraged to camp overnight, and bask in the fruits of their labor over a communal campfire! Since we’re just starting out, we’re keeping the events close to home in California. But if you want to volunteer for these types of projects in your area, just let us know by filling out our community form! Although Earth Day is one day of the year, we believe in celebrating Mother Earth year-round, and definitely plan to increase stewardship & camp opportunities throughout 2016.
