Wood Cutter's Day
2024-11-02 09:00 - 16:00 | Pocono Plateau Camp and Retreat Center, 304 Pocono Plateau Rd, Cresco, PA, 18326
The forest is a wonderful habitat for wildlife, a beautiful example of God’s handiwork, and a resource that provides precious fuel for our wood burning stoves. Our wood stoves consume over 40 cords of wood per year and saves the camp approximately $10,000 in fuel expenses annually.
We need individuals and groups for our annual timber harvest in autumn to cut down trees, cut logs, split and stack firewood. The camp will provide lunch during your visit. If you’re interested or have questions, please contact the camp office.
Lunch is included.
