Thanksgiving Warming Hut

DETAILS:

Volunteers needed to staff the Warming Hut for Thanksgiving weekend - Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 9am - 3pm. Responsibilities include setting up hot chocolate, treats and welcome visitors in representing the Friends and the Park.

The Friends staff the warming hut during the winter months. We set up self-serve hot water for hot chocolate and tea during the morning shift and clean up at the end of the afternoon shift. We also keep the fire going and answer any questions for patrons about the park and promote the work of the Friends. The Friends will provide all training as needed and there is reference material throughout the Warming Hut. Download the Warming Hut Volunteer Guide HERE

If there is inclement weather on the horizon, please call the office, 518-793-0511  to confirm the access road to the warming hut will be open and plowed. If you are unable to make it for any reason, please send an email to [email protected] to let us know.

We also ask that if you haven't already to please sign the volunteer service agreements from NYS Parks and the Friends of Moreau Lake Code of Conduct. They are valid for one year so you don't need to fill them out for every volunteer event. You may bring them with you or drop them off at the park office at any time.

If you have any problems filling this out, or inquires of any kind, pleas contact [email protected] and we will get back to you ASAP.
