Pre-Session

2024 Dates | May 13–16 & May 20–24

Each May, volunteers generously help Haystack staff prepare the campus for the coming season. Volunteers stay on the stunning Haystack campus and enjoy the incredible food served up by our Kitchen team, all in exchange for their loving labor. Jobs range from hauling wood, painting, replacing decking, grooming the grounds, organizing and cleaning studios, helping out in the office or library, and so much more! Volunteer time can range from several hours to several days. Did we mention there are commemorative T-shirts?

Pre-Session is a long-running tradition at Haystack, and we love that so many people—both new and returning—are so interested in participating! We’ve created a new application process with a form that allows staff to pair interested volunteers with specific Pre-Session projects. Note that space in this program is limited and it is very popular, so we may not be able to accept all interested applicants.

Deadline to apply is March 15 - Application Closed.
Applicants will be notified of their application status by April 8.
