(Sunday-Friday) Wonderful food, real and important work, the glorious autumn is a blessing to those who come, 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. Pay by the sweat of your brow. If you have friends with skills and open hearts, invite them to join us. Come for all five days or whatever you can spare.
Please bring work gloves and tools you know how to use. When you register, tell us your skills (e.g. carpentry, electrical, furniture repair, painting, sewing, gardening, cleaning, or general physical labor) and what days you’ll be here (you can change your mind), so we can plan our work projects. We look forward to seeing you, and thank you in advance.
Work Week is Rowe’s most intergen-erational gathering. Campers not long out of Rowe Camp see this as a cool chance to return to the place they love, for free. Folks in mid-career, in transition, or retired find it a great place to meet new friends. Work Week folk range in age from their late teens to early 80s, but we welcome you to push the envelope on either end. The mix of 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.
