How does a week-long work camp schedule differ?
During a week long work camp, check-in day begins Tuesday around 5pm and the schedule is adjusted accordingly.  Wednesday,Thursday, Friday and Saturday of a weeklong follow the Weekend Saturday schedule.  On occasion, we are able to schedule a special activity on Saturday afternoon and arrange for only a half day of work.  The Sunday schedule remains the same.

PLEASE NOTE...
While this is the schedule for a typical weekend work camp, it is subject to changes and adjustments. This schedule is provided for general use only and is not to be considered an official itinerary.
