On this trip, youth (ages 14-18) volunteers will work and explore the Hemingway Boulder Wilderness. We will base camp near the North Fork Wood River Trailhead. Over 16 miles of trail are accessed from here, and each day we’ll work further in, clearing the trails of brush and downed trees, as well as improving the drainage and tread on the trails. We’ll set up camp near the trailhead. All meals will be provided, and an ITA volunteer will join us to help cook.
With guidance from crew leaders, volunteers will be involved in all aspects of camp life. This includes helping set out breakfast and lunch items, assisting the cook with dinner and dishes, ensuring water and sanitation supplies are available, and ensuring tools are accounted for. Volunteers are expected to adhere to Leave No Trace best practices and project safety expectations set by crew leaders.
