Parent Volunteer Group
Welcome to all our new and returning families. We have many ways in which to help our teams throughout the season, on meet days and through other events. We ask and encourage every family to volunteer, whether it is at the meets or our social events. This is a great way to build our community and serve one another.
Our biggest need for the fall is help at Camp Gard. To set up Camp Gard, volunteers arrive about 1 hour before the team does at the meet site and set up our tents and get ready to help the runners. Please see the sign up below to volunteer for any of the meets this season. If you have any questions about volunteering, please reach out to Michelle Nowak at 920-634-9065 or culinaryrd1@gmail.com
