Work with the Community
Wisteria is an amazing community and we are always looking for new members or old friends. We would love for you to join us to make this magical community stronger and grow.
Wisteria is an amazing community and we are always looking for new members or old friends. We would love for you to join us to make this magical community stronger and grow.
The work and play that happens during events is only the tip of the iceberg. Work happens throughout the year at Wisteria. Each year, we choose a few weekends where we invite volunteers to come on down and join us in helping to keep Wisteria going. Sometimes it’s cleaning and preparing for the festival season, and sometimes it’s major projects, but we always have great fun with it. It’s a wonderful opportunity to get to make friends and really get to know your fellow community members away from the frantic pace of festival. Admission is free if you give us five hours of work a day, and the rest of the time is yours. Evenings range from wild nights at Paw Paw, to quiet times listening to the woodland critters.
Want to attend one of our community weekends? You’ll find the schedule on our homepage, and we usually have Facebook events for each work weekend on our Facebook page. There’s no online registration, but please let us know you’re attending on our Facebook event or email events@wisteria.org, so we can plan accordingly. Gate is open noon-10pm on the first day (usually Friday), 10am-10pm all other days. Work orientation meeting is 10am the second day (usually Saturday). Work barter volunteers get free brunch and dinner on work days. Want to just come and camp? You’re welcome to just pay the camping fee instead ($25/day adult, $12/day child), but make sure you bring your own food.
Be sure to check our website and/or Facebook page prior to coming to the workshop! We sometimes have to cancel or reschedule them due to bad weather or other reasons.
