The Wild Medicine Pack
2027 Work Exchange Program
Work Exchange Overview
Inspired by the collaboration and camaraderie amongst a pack of wolves, The Wild Medicine Pack will be a 20-person volunteer team of folks working together to ensure a smooth conference experience. Wild Medicine Pack Members will be those who want to play a significant and immersive role in supporting and sustaining the conference.
Volunteer Registration: $95
Wild Medicine Pack members receive a $300 discount in exchange for 12 hours of volunteer service over 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 central time on Thursday, April 29, 2027.
Volunteer Lodging
We provide car camping passes to all of our volunteers. Volunteers can upgrade to Dorm or Lodge accommodations to their registrations at the same rate as regular attendees if they would like indoor lodging.
Volunteer Meals
Meals are not included in volunteer registration. Volunteers can provide their own food or add meal plans to their registration. Lodges have full kitchens in them; however, no kitchen access is available for car campers or those and dorms.
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 central 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. 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.
