Panfest is a community effort and everyone helps out. In order to
keep costs minimal to attendees, everyone is scheduled. All attendees
over the age of 12 are required to do a minimum of two one hour
shifts of volunteer time.
It's a wonderful opportunity to meet people and
make some new friends. Presenting a workshop or ritual is not
considered volunteer time. Please indicate your preference for your
work shift or one will be assigned to you. Here's what we have
available:
Meal
Preparation/Cleanup
Preparing the
selected meal and/or cleaning up after it.
Main Lodge Cleanup
Wipe down tables,
sweep and mop floors
Dishes and Kitchen
Cleanup
Wash dishes, wipe
down counters, empty garbage, sweep and mop floor
Childcare
To assist the
childcare providers we encourage all parents with children
participating in the childcare program to lend a hand and do an extra
volunteer shift assisting with the childcare program.
Please note that the childcare program runs for only 4 hours each day.
Late Night Lodge Cleanup
For those night owls
who are up after most have drifted away from the lodge. The garbage
must be taken out, the tables wiped off, and the floors swept and
mopped.
Security
Patrol the area to
ensure only registered guests are present. Watch for any sign of
trouble.
Medical/first-aid duty
Volunteers must have
current certification
Washroom and
Shower Cleanup
Clean sinks. toilets,
and showers. Sweep and mop floors, ensure supplies are topped off.
PanFest Kids Area
There will be some daily childcare time
provided in the form of children's workshops and activities so the
parents have an opportunity to have some free time to attend workshops
and seminars. So, if you wish to present a kids workshop or ritual,
please let us know in the space provided on the back of the
registration form. All parents using child care will be required to
volunteer an additional hour in this area.
This is not a babysitting service. We provide activities for kids to
help make Paganism accessible to them, and to try to make sure that
they're not bored to tears.
