Falmouth High School Volunteer Weekend at Flagstaff Lake Hut

Every spring, as the snow melts and the woods around Flagstaff Lake come back to life, we look forward to one of our favorite traditions: the return of Falmouth High School for their annual volunteer overnight. This year was no exception. We were absolutely thrilled to welcome these dedicated students back to Flagstaff Lake Hut, where they rolled up their sleeves and got to work helping us prepare for another season of summer rentals.

Putting in the Work

The crew tackled several important tasks that make a real difference in getting the hut ready for guests:

Wood stacking: ensuring we have a tidy, accessible supply ready for the season ahead
Grounds cleanup: clearing out the wear of winter and making the property shine
Life jacket cleaning: an important safety task that keeps our gear in top condition for every visitor

These aren’t glamorous jobs, but they are essential ones. The work Falmouth’s volunteers do each year directly impacts the experience of every guest who walks through our doors.

Why Volunteers Matter

Organizations like ours run on passion, community, and the generosity of people willing to give their time. Volunteers are the backbone of what we do. The fact that Falmouth High School returns year after year speaks to the character of these students and their commitment to something bigger than themselves. They aren’t just checking a box, they’re building a relationship with this place and with our mission.

Thank You, Falmouth
To every student, chaperone, and faculty member who made the trip to Flagstaff Lake Hut this year: thank you. Thank you for your energy, your work ethic, and your willingness to give your time to a cause that matters. You leave this place better than you found it, and that means the world to us.

We can’t wait to see you again next year.
