October 3-8, 2004 (Sunday-Friday)
Wonderful food, real and important work, the beauty of autumn, 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.
Re-experience what your body can do; find the relaxation intrinsic to meaningful physical work; bring more beauty to this good earth. Come for all five days or as many days as you can spare. 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. We thank you in advance, and we look forward to seeing you.
Work Week is Rowe’s most intergenerational gathering. 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 people in mid-career or in transition see this as a refreshing break. and a great place to meet new friends. Work Week folk range in age from their late teens to early 80s, but you’re welcome to push the envelope on either end. 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.
