We appreciate the significant contribution of our volunteers and look forward to working with you again. There are several ways to volunteer and stay connected to Woodfordia.
WOODFORD FOLK FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERING

LAKE GKULA CAMPING VOLUNTEERING
We need a small number of volunteers to assist us in running the campgrounds, the lake, the Lake Gkula Bar & BBQ, and the General Store & Café.
There are two possible ways to volunteer:
- For a small donation of time, 4 hours per day for at least 3 days, you can come and enjoy Lake Gkula Camping and know that you’re supporting Woodfordia’s campground. In return, you’ll receive lunch each day you volunteer plus an extra day to camp without any rostered shift. A great option if you only have a small amount of time but still want to be part of it.
- For anyone with more time on their hands, we have “the backpacker package” (don’t worry, you don’t have to be a backpacker to join the crew this way). Commit to 7 days in a row, for 5 hours per day and in return, you’ll be able to camp an additional week, either before or after your week’s commitment. You’ll also receive 3 basic meals per day while working, access to cooking facilities for when you aren’t working, an affordable laundromat and our gorgeous Lake Gkula for swimming!
Volunteers are also needed to assist us in preparing the site in the setup (11 – 14 September) and cleaning up afterwards (3 – 5 October).
