VOLUNTEER WORK WEEK

Bonclarken’s annual Volunteer Work Week is a great time of fellowship, fun, and work as volunteers are housed and fed free of charge in exchange for their labor as the grounds are prepared for the upcoming summer season.

After much prayer and deliberation, Bonclarken Conference Center has decided to cancel Volunteer Work Week for 2020. We will miss all of our wonderful volunteers this year! They are a more than a talented and willing workforce—they are a source of Christian inspiration and renewal for our staff and a blessing to our guests and community. We look forward to seeing everyone at Volunteer Work Week next year, so mark April 19-23, 2021, on your calendars!
