Fall Festival Volunteers and Crafters Needed

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We know it’s only May, but our Fall Festival Committee is already hard at work planning for the 2024 Fall Festival.

This year our annual Fall Festival is scheduled for Sunday, October 6, from 11 am-5 pm. Fall Festival is only possible because of the efforts of countless volunteers.  They bake, promote, stitch, recruit, decorate, set up/take down, drive boats, lead tours, greet, direct traffic, clean, serve, and dedicate hours and hours to make it all happen.  If you’re interested in joining our Fall Festival Committee, please email FallFestival@duboiscenter.org.

Crafters & Makers

We are always looking for new makers and crafters to feature at this event! If you are interested in applying and have questions, email our Fall Festival Vendor Coordinator at FallFestival@duboiscenter.org.

Registration is OPEN for the 2024 Fall Festival and applications can be submitted at https://duboiscenter.org/crafters.

Spring Open House

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Join us for our Spring Open House Sunday, April 30th!

Campers and families can meet Noah, our new Executive Director, and talk to our Program Director Rylee about summer camps.  While you are there make sure to stop by the barn to say hi to the horses, the bonfire to make smores, and the photo booth to take home a memory of your time at camp.

We are Hiring!

We are looking for someone to fill the role of Office Administrator (part-time)

The Office Administrator is the welcoming face and voice of DuBois Center for all who visit the camp and retreat center. Duties include answering general inquiries via phone and email, providing administrative support for programming and events, working with the summer camp registrar to manage camp and guest group registration, as well as general office maintenance.

Given the nature of the position, the office administrator will need to be on-site during work hours; though there is flexibility on days and hours. If interested, please send a statement of interest and resume to director@duboiscenter.org.

Looking for a Golf Cart or two

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We are looking for Golf Carts for DuBois Center. We use them to move people and supplies around during Summer Camp and retreats.  When we need to transport a nurse to the rustic side of camp to check on a sick child, a golf cart is our best bet.  Time to shuttle snacks to the waterfront, a golf cart would be perfect.

We would prefer electric golf carts, but gas powered is fine too. They need to have at least 4 seats – 6 would be even better. If you know of any available for donation, or to purchase at a reasonable price, please let us know – dcinfo@duboiscenter.org.  If any would like to donate toward purchasing a golf cart, please contact the office

Horse Retreat – April 15-16

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Another crowd favorite returns! This weekend is just like our summer horse camp, but with more time with and on the horses! Also, who said you could only ride horses? We’ll have activities like horse apple bobbing, campfire cookouts with your horse, confecting horse treats, a barn party, and many more horse games.

Designed for participants ages 12 and over who love horses, this could very well be the highlight of your spring!
