Volunteers need to bring their own tent and personal camping gear; sheets, bedding or sleeping bag; towels; and personal cup, bowl, mug, and eating utensils. Volunteers can also journey to nearby Orcas Island and explore beautiful hiking, tasty food, and a different island vibe.

A weeklong adventure on San Juan Island, a beloved paradise off the North West edge of Washington State. During the Spring, April – May, San Juan Island is filled with abundant wildflowers like shooting stars, camas, chocolate lilies, sea blush, and starry cerastium. The island is well-known for its resident population of Orca who can be seen semi-frequently from shore. Volunteers will help maintain one of the most beloved trails on San Juan Island! Work includes trimming, mowing, pruning, and hedging overgrown vegetation, and grubbing out larger plants from the trail corridor. There will also be some sections of treadwork to help maintain the trail's outslope and drainages. Volunteers will cover between 5 – 8 miles of trail over the duration of the project. There is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction, tool demonstrations, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks, at your own pace.

Area and AttractionsSan Juan Island has many publicly-accessible beaches, hiking opportunities, ocean swimming (cold!), and wildlife viewing. Foxes, bald eagles, migratory birds, and a plethora of marine mammals all call this archipelago home. The Town of Friday Harbor, located on San Juan Island, has several cute restaurants and shops to explore as well. Volunteers can also journey to nearby Orcas Island and explore beautiful hiking, tasty food, and a different island vibe. Accommodations DescriptionVolunteers will stay at car camping tent sites.
