We'll meet at the cabin (near North Conway, about a 3 hr drive from Cambridge) around 9:30am and spend the day doing cabin maintenance, cleaning, and learning how to use the cabin. We expect to wrap up by around 3 or 4pm. After the training, you're welcome and encouraged to spend the night at Intervale and go on a trip in the area the next day.

We will work on various tasks to clean up the property and cabin before winter. This may include:

  • Hauling trash down to the parking lot
  • Cleaning the cabin and grounds
  • More fire extinguisher cleanup upstairs
  • Reinforcing mouse proofing
  • Trimming low hanging branches away from roof
  • Restocking supplies as needed

Please plan to eat breakfast before coming and to bring your own snacks and water for the day, we will pick up some pizzas for lunch. Wear close toe shoes and clothes that you can get dirty. It may be cold and rainy and some work will be outside so bring appropriate layers. Bring work gloves and an n95 if you have them.

The next general keyholder training/workday will be next year in late spring/early summer. There will possibly be a special evening training only for winter school leaders, but unsure if I'm going to have time for one this year, date TBD.
