You will be required to wear a life jacket which will be provided or you can bring your own.Ā  This is our largest group of volunteers and is often our younger volunteers and those that are younger at heart.Ā  You may be riding on the back of a jet ski, in a ski boat, on shore helping start skiers, and/or in deep water helping start skiers.Ā  This group will do it all!

Volunteer Training

All volunteers will attend volunteer training at 7:30 AM on the day of the event.Ā  As you can see, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to volunteer all while having a great time, making new friends and helping others.Ā  Even though you sign up for a specific job, we will move people around depending on the number of volunteers and what is needed.
