Volunteer
Each year, more than 5,000 people enjoy the pristine 1,016 acres on Clearwater Lake. They come for summer camp, family camps, art/music festivals, adult retreats, team building, the high ropes course and personal spiritual renewal. In addition, groups come throughout the year for retreats, work weekends and leadership training.
They come to renew and rejuvenate in God’s creation, surrounded by the dense forest of pines and maples, dotted with wildflowers, songbirds, a healthy population of loons and many other animals. They come for one night or as long as two weeks to recreate together, worship together, and live in an active Christian community. They come to connect- with old and new friends, as well as with their Creator. They leave refreshed and ready to serve as God calls them.
In order to serve so many, to maintain and improve our facilities, and to be good stewards of this beautiful, natural setting, we depend on contributions from individuals, as well as volunteer support. We invite you to partner with us as we change lives in God’s woods and waters.

WHY I Volunteer A CLEARWATER
"Presbyterian Clearwater Forest is a place to breathe, a place to learn, a place to discover, a place to grow, a place to be... As i turn off Crooked Lake Road, passing into the trees and slowing, a different anticipation rises. Something loosens even further and the lakes comes into view. I become impatient, no matter the weather or time of year, to step out of the truck, stand in the peace of speaking trees, calling loons, soft snort and stamp of deer, the song of many birds, the boom of the grouse, the laughter of campers, the shriek of the wind and if the lake is speaking, the deep booming crack of ice or call of the waves lapping or slapping the shoreline. Presbyterian Clearwater Forest is for me a place where prayer is in each breath and the silence speaks, and most of all The Voice is more clearly heard that nearly anywhere else."
