What is Work Week? Work Week is the chance of a lifetime; a time to enjoy a Ferry Beach getaway, to do good through volunteerism, an opportunity to meet new people, enjoy the beach, daily meals and activities all while making a profound impact at Ferry Beach, all at an incredibly affordable cost (complimentary dorm lodging, in compensation for your volunteer work).
If you are longing to feel the deep sense of satisfaction that comes from sharing hard work and good times with time for renewal and relaxation by the beach, join us! Your volunteer efforts in revitalizing our campus makes a profound impact for the Ferry Beach community. During this week, you'll work on projects in the mornings and enjoy a Ferry Beach getaway retreat in the afternoons and evenings. Don't forget about the delicious meals offered from our onsite dining center during your stay. Enjoy all the activities that Ferry Beach has to offer including, friendship circles, campfires, playing on the beach, ice cream socials, singing, and chapel services (held in the evening during this week) all while also helping the Beach. So pack up your tools for a week of satisfying projects, a Ferry Beach getaway, and special camaraderie that is unique among people working together. Bring a friend and enjoy some work, play and a whole lot of fun! |
Ferry Beach is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year (2026). Come join us this year as we rejoice in a year of celebration!
