Ghost Ranch Volunteer Camp
Sign up is limited by space availability
We are holding the 2019 v-Camp May 24-26. The Ranch is providing free housing and meals for those working during Volunteer Camp. Housing is in "dorm" room with bathrooms down the portal. We will have separate Men's and Women's rooms, with 3-5 beds in each.
V-Camp is a great time for members to get to know one another and to have an exchange of ideas while working to maintain the facility. The mission statement of the NMPCA is to promote education in the ceramic arts, and by maintaining this site we are contributing to the well being of this magical educational facility, making sure it is kept in good working condition for our 2019 workshops and beyond.
Work activities this year include: Repairing the gas kiln, replastering the fuming kiln, finishing the wood working on the portal, general cleanup and moving, inventory of materials and preparing list of needed replacements, preparation of a manual for use of critical equipment for the ranch to use.
If you have questions, call Barbara Campbell, the event coordinator, at (575) 581-4430 or email becampbell33@gmail.com.
We will let you know about any special items to bring, but in general work gloves, work clothes, dust masks for cleanup and sturdy shoes, rakes, shovel, pick-ax, trowel.
Ghost Ranch V-Camp has a long and productive history. Here's the crew from 2008.
