Restoration work at Rock of Ages Lighthouse is completed primarily by volunteers. This work includes carpentry, painting, cleaning, and more. Many volunteers have specialized restoration or boating skills, but these are not required to be a volunteer. Volunteers must commit to at least 1 week of work and provide their own food and transportation to Windigo (Ozaagaateng) Ranger Station.
All current Rock of Ages LPS members will be notified by email in late February of the volunteer opportunities for the upcoming restoration season. The volunteer application will be released to the general public a few weeks after it has been released to members if volunteer spaced remain and/or if additional names are sought for the wait list.
All volunteers are required to read the Volunteer Handbook before applying.
We have three general types of volunteers involved in summer restoration work.
