Volunteers support the Winter Park Programming Crew to create and maintain year-round activities with an emphasis on education, trail enhancement, kids/family, citizen science, and most importantly: fun! Check out all the way you can get involved below.
Trail Activity/Programming Volunteer Opportunities:
Bunny Loop Activity
- This easy 2km ski loop features 8 wooden posts where weekly themed trail activities, trivia, or games are placed. It's a fantastic incentive for kids (and adults) to complete the loop. Help us switch out the weekly themed Bunny Loop activity. Volunteers must be on skis
Seasonal Storybook Trails
- Help maintain these fan favorite trail activities. In the winter, volunteers can snowshoe the 1 mile Popple Loop trail or make a lap around the Chip Wulff Memorial Skating Pond and check the book pages.
Guided Tours
- Want to lead or help out will a guided ski, snowshoe, or summer hike? We offer in-house guided trail tours throughout the seasons usually held on weekends. We sometimes need a "sweep" to bring up the back of the group.
Nature Shelter Naturalist Displays
- Help "winterize" the Nature Shelter by installing the naturalist displays and winter decorations.
- Check on the displays and help tidy up the Nature Shelter on a weekly basis
Snow Monitoring
- Help Winter Park report snow conditions! Visit the three snow measuring stations (two on ski trails, one on a snowshoe trail) and report snow depth on trail and in the woods along with any recent snowfall.
Spring/Summer Blue Bird Monitoring
- Check nest boxes and count eggs and hatchlings during spring and early summer months. In coordination with the Bluebird Restoration Association of Wisconsin.
Spring Frog Monitoring
- Visit the Chip Wulff Memorial Skating Pond at dusk during the spring months and record information on frog species and call intensity. In coordination with the Wisconsin DNR
