Camp Move: May 17-18, 2019

It’s time to move Camp Unity Eastside! We depend on volunteers like you to help us in packing, moving and setting up the community and personal tents, platforms, and camp supplies. Won’t you join us? It’s a great opportunity to meet and work along side men and women of the camp and other volunteers in the community. There are many options for ways to help – with the move, needed supplies or meals. SIGN UP NOW

Volunteer to help move Camp Unity to our next location.
Volunteers work to assemble canopy structures over tents.

Camp moves are a fantastic way for individuals, families, groups, teams and anyone else to contribute some volunteer hours in their community.

No special skills are required to help. At a typical move day, you might find yourself…

  • Loading and unloading a truck
  • Setting up tents
  • Organizing the camp kitchen or donation tent
  • Building wooden platforms to elevate the tents
  • Putting the community tents together
  • Cleaning up the old site so it is spotless!
