Sept 28-Oct 3
Wonderful food, real and important work, the beauty of Autumn in the Berkshires, evening entertainment, outstanding company, and a special kind of bonding are what we offer in exchange for your labor. We respect hard work and expect a lot from ourselves and from those who join our productive and delightful work party.
Reexperience what your body can do; find the relaxation intrinsic to meaningful physical work; bring more beauty to this good earth. Pay by the sweat of your brow. If you have friends with skills and open hearts, invite them to join us. Please bring work gloves and tools you know how to use. When you register, tell us what your skills are (e.g. carpentry, electrical, furniture repair, painting, sewing, gardening, lawn mowing, cleaning, or general physical labor) and what days you'll be here, so we can plan our work projects for the week.
Work Week is one of Rowe's most intergenerational gatherings. Campers not long out of Rowe Camp see this as a cool chance to return to the place they love. Folks who are retired or in transition find it a great place to meet new friends. Work Week folk range in age from their teens to 80, but we welcome you to push the envelope on either end. The mix of us all eating, working, and playing together is wonderful. Join this happy, productive crew for a day or two or all five, but be careful, it can be addictive. Some of us have been doing this for years.
