Volunteers
We need LOTS of volunteers. Volunteering at LSL Days is rewarding for everyone! Ask yourself if you are an experienced boat driver or water craft operator, water person, dry land person, paper work person, equipment person, food prep person or maybe you just like to make new friends. If you answered “yes” to any of these, then we have a job for YOU! No matter what your skill level is… or isn’t, we will find you something to do. We especially need ski boats (6) and pontoon boat (1) that are registered in LSL.

We have plenty of adaptive water ski equipment to ensure that you have an amazing experience. It doesn’t matter if you have never skied or if you are ready for the Paralympics or Special Olympics, we have the equipment you need! If you are not comfortable with the thought of skiing, or just don’t want to ski, that’s ok! Participants can also go on an inner tube ride or a boat ride.
