Volunteer Vacations

Give us a week. We'll make it great.

Looking for a rewarding, challenging and fun vacation? Volunteer Vacations are week-long work parties that connect you with a much-needed trail maintenance project located in a premiere backcountry location of Washington State.

What's the Catch?

For only $165 ($125 for WTA members) we will provide you with a week of fine cooking, fun folks and a meaningful project - led by one of our skilled crew leaders. And, we'll also do a little trail work during the day. Projects range from repairing tread and improving drainage, to building structures such as turnpike or puncheon, or logging-out with crosscut saw. You'll share in-camp chores with fellow volunteers, like helping the cook, washing dishes and pumping water. But there will be plenty of time left over to sleep, eat and relax – and enjoy your surroundings.

Before Signing up

Please read more about the format of our trips, including the menu and procedures for submitting application and payment, in our Volunteer Vacation FAQs. Note that due to the popularity of our trips, you need to submit
payment and application within 2 weeks or joining a trip.  If a trip is full and you would like to be added to a waitlist, please call us at 206/625-1367 or e-mail trail_teams@wta.org.

Hike Difficulty Rating System

Our ratings are based on the elevation gain/loss from the trail head to the basecamp. This does not indicate the difficulty of the actual project. If you are unsure after reading the trip descriptions and looking at the scaled hike profiles, call the office and we'll help get you set up with the trip that makes the most sense for you.
