    Description

    Winter Wonderland is a festival celebrating all the wonders of winter! Children from surrounding communities are invited to take part in various activities all based on the winter season, including hot chocolate sipping, sleigh rides, ice carving, and more! We need volunteers to help bring the cheer and warmth for the event.

    What you'll be doing:

    • Assisting with set up of several stations throughout Lyman Woods, including crafts, food set-up, obstacle course assembling, sleigh rides, and ice carving.
    • Volunteers will engage kids and bring the fun while also being a second pair of eyes and ears for the counselors.
    • Many activities for the day are held outdoors, so please dress or bring clothing and proper shoes in order to go outside if needed (snow boots, warm pants and extra layers are highly recommended).
