Overview:

The IATA built over 1,400 feet of boardwalk in 2016. This is a hands-on boardwalk construction training to help build the next 1,400 feet – in 2017!

Registration is limited to 25 participants. This training has reached capacity – contact dave@iceagetrail.org to be placed on the wait list. Please complete and return the attached application to build not only boardwalk but local capacity for these big projects.

No previous experience is necessary; training is provided by certified volunteer crew leaders. The IATA provides food, tools, and campsites free to all who volunteer.

Schedule:

Your contribution is welcome for any part of the event or the entire project. Work begins on Wednesday, May 31, and concludes Friday, June 2. Boardwalk training/construction activities begin each day around 8:00 a.m. and typically wrap up between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.

What to Bring:

  • We recommend a long-sleeve shirt and pants for trail work.
  • Plan for variable weather – bring warm layers and rain gear.
  • Sturdy hiking or work boots (no tennis shoes) and leather work gloves.
  • Day pack, water bottles, insect repellent, sunscreen and a hat.
  • If camping, bring a headlamp, tent, sleeping gear and toiletries.
  • Consider bringing a lawn chair; you’ll appreciate having it to relax around the fire in comfortable clothes at the end of the day.

Special Notes:

We love dogs, but we ask that you not bring them to this event. Woolly mammoths are welcome.
