• 4 volunteers Needed for the Women’s Wilderness Organization!!! The Daily Camera Camp Fair is being held on Saturday March 15th and we’ve been given the green light to have our bouldering bus there! We’ll need a few folks to help out on the bus with spotting climbers and talking about our programs with prospective participants and their families. The fair is running from 10am-2pm and if you’re able to help out for the full time that would be great, otherwise, two hours within that time frame will be super helpful.
