The PATC sponsors 10 weeks of summer crews. Six weeks are coordinated with the National Park Service and are scheduled in Shenandoah National Park (two weeks in each trail district). Four weeks are coordinated with the USDA National Forest Service and take place in the George Washington National Forest. Volunteers learn trail skills from the professionals in the Parks and Forests, and spend the week enjoying the comradery of other crew members. All meals and accommodations are covered by the PATC and its partners.
Schedules for the summers crews are posted on the on-line calendar and on this page. Applications are available on the Docs section of the website (or linked to the articles below).
