  • Camp Kinneywood Clean-Up Weekend

    Our hope is to have dozens of willing hands and hearts that will make light work as we get camp ready for the summer.  Girls Inc. needs adult volunteers ready to rake, paint, and clean. Volunteers may join us for one or both days and all are welcome; we have organized the work schedules in three hour blocks on both days.  Adults with carpentry and electrical background or volunteers willing to learn are encouraged.  We hope you will join us for this clean-up weekend - Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31 from 9:30 am - 3:30 pm.  Refreshments and lunch will be served.
