Spend six nights working with rangers (护林员) while helping to preserve Yosemite National Park!

Yosemite is one of the world’s most beloved national parks. As volunteers in Yosemite Valley, we help rangers fix trails and repair fragile natural resources. No previous experience necessary, our leaders provide the training we need to complete the work at hand.

Activities

Volunteers should be comfortable hiking up to two miles each day. To assess your fitness, you are required to hike stairs for 2-3 miles with a daypack weighing 10-15 pounds at the fitness test.

What’s Included

All meals from dinner on Day 1 through breakfast on Day 7; campground reservations; group tools; transportation from campground to work sites; orientation and training; park entrance fees.

Accommodations

Camping, 6 nights (bring your own tent).

Your Adventure Itinerary(日程)

▶Day 1

Meet for orientation and enjoy a welcome dinner. An orientation meeting will be conducted to provide volunteers with an overview of the scheduled work projects as well as training in proper tool use and safety.

▶Days 2-5

Working with park rangers, assist in trail maintenance and restoration. During these three days, we plan to work from 9 a. m. - 4 p. m. with an hour scheduled for lunch. We return to Yellow Pines Campground each evening for dinner and relaxation.

Explore Yosemite National Park on your much deserved rest day. Challenge yourself on a hike up the Mist Trail, relax by the Merced River, or read a book in a peaceful meadow — this day is all yours.

Depart Yosemite for home. Volunteers wishing to stay longer may make reservations at other campgrounds or lodging in the park.
