Be a Salt Spring Fiddleworker!
Fiddleworks aims to build community (at a personal, local and global level) through music and the arts, using mentorship and celebration in a
multi-generational setting (which values relationship with others and the earth).
Community is key to the success of our camps and it is our top priority. We want our programs to give the opportunity to give back, and to be available to everyone.
In keeping with the Fiddleworks spirit we encourage you to sign up for a volunteer position during registration. It takes a village! Everybody contributing a little is what makes Fiddle Camp magic happen!
Below is a comprehensive list of all the Fiddleworker crews and jobs... as this is our first year back at the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga, some jobs may vary from previous years. Your patience and flexibility as we adjust to the new site is appreciated!

Monday Madness Set-Up
The set up crew will be vital this year as we're in a new space.

If you're able to arrive earlier on Monday the 22nd, we'd love your help! The set up crew arrives at 3pm on Monday 22 July to help with site set up, chair and table set up, unloading trucks and equipment. Welcomes and directs arriving campers. Saturday Sillies Clean up Crew
Just as vital as the Monday set -up, our clean-up crew will help to ensure that we leave the Centre facilities and grounds as pristine and beautiful as we found it. Report to the School House early on Saturday to find out what needs doing. Many hands make light work! Food Frenzy Crew

Cleaning Capers
Our important Cleaning Caper crew will ensure that we keep the Centre and School pristine and beautiful each day. Floor Fairies are responsible for sweeping and monitoring their allocated areas once a day, and recycling, compost and garbage helpers (pref. campers with their own vehicles) ensure that we are staying as waste-free as possible.
