Spend an hour, a day, or the entire weekend to help us get ready for our next summer of camping. Your time and energy help grow and maintain the vision and legacy of Brian J. Stephens, who started this rescue effort!

Camp with us, enjoy the campfire at night with old and new friends, and hang out with the farm animal rescues.
We have a number of projects that we need help with in addition to the annual spring clean-up around the grounds.
We will be building two new campsites (camping is a big income generator for the rescue). Plus there is painting of the greenhouse and the tent decks that volunteers built last year.
There are donkey hooves to trim, wood debris to be gathered, poop to shovel, and more!

No experience is necessary.

Pack your tent & sleeping bag so you can spend the weekend and commune with the critters! Boots and gloves are recommended (it can be muddy and poopy).

Plus, the 8,000 daffodils (all planted by volunteers just like you!) should be in bloom this weekend!
