2027 Work Exchange Program
Updated: 10/6/27
Work Exchange Overview
Inspired by the camaraderie amongst a pack of wolves, The Wild Medicine Pack is a 20-person volunteer team of folks working together to ensure a smooth experience for all. Wild Medicine Pack Members will be those who want to play a significant and immersive role in supporting and sustaining the conference.
Volunteer Registration: $125
We offer Wild Medicine Pack Volunteers Thursday-Sunday registration (valued at $500) in exchange for a $125 non-refundable commitment fee and 12 hours of service during the course of a 4-day period (Thursday through Sunday). Pack members must be available all 4 days to qualify for participation in our work exchange program. All volunteers must be able to arrive by 11am eastern time on Thursday, April 29, 2027.
Volunteer Lodging
We provide tent camping in group camping spaces to all of our volunteers at no additional cost. Volunteers can book an RV or private tent site through Harrison Bay State Park's website, or choose to stay offsite in lodging they book on their own.
Volunteer Meals
Thursday dinner is provided to volunteers; however, all other meals must be purchased or self-provided. Weekend meals include Friday dinner, Saturday lunch, Saturday dinner, and Sunday's Beltane Brunch. (Friday and Saturday breakfast is not available to any attendees, so volunteers will need to plan for these meals on their own).
Thursday Dinner: Free
Friday Lunch: $15
Weekend Meals: $75
Training Requirement
All Wild Medicine Pack Members must attend a 1-hour virtual Training & Preparation Meeting that will take place the Monday before the conference (April 26, 2027) at 6:30pm CT.
Volunteer Arrival Time
Volunteer Orientation is Thursday (4/29) at 11am eastern time, meaning all volunteers must arrive before that time and be ready to meet.
Volunteer Eligibility
Pack members must be extremely flexible, willing to chip in wherever is needed, and understand that their ability to attend classes and workshops will be impacted by the projects or assignments they are given. The ability to walk moderate distances and lift at least 25 pounds without assistance is required unless advanced arrangements are made with us. Common volunteer tasks include assisting with parking, registration, classroom monitoring, and dining hall/tea station support. While each volunteer will have enough free time to attend several classes, volunteer shifts often overlap with a workshop period. Please be prepared to miss 2-3 workshops if you are volunteering.
VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION
We have 20 volunteer spots, and anyone is welcome to join The Wild Medicine Pack until these spots are filled as long as you are able to meet all of the requirements outlined on this page.
