CRE Maintenance Corps

As you might imagine it takes a lot of work to keep CRE going, what you may not know is that very little of that work is contracted out; most of the work happens because of volunteers like you lending a hand under the direction of the camp ranger.

The Camp Rock Enon Maintenance Corps is a group of dedicated Scouting volunteers working side by side with our Facilities Management Team at camp including Richard Holder, Bill Joyce and Mike Smith, to make CRE the best of its kind and unsurpassed in support of the Council’s Outdoor Scouting Programs.

Our mission is to take the lead to ensure CRE’s facilities and grounds are safe and in good repair, ready to support the needs of the various outdoor Scouting programs offered at Camp Rock Enon. We work closely with the Council Property and the Council Camping committees to make sure we are all on the same page working efficiently, effectively and smartly to continually improve our cherished resource not only for today’s scouts but for future scouting generations.

  We are always in need of a variety of licensed and skilled tradespeople including the following:

  • Plumber
  • Gas Fitter
  • Electrician
  • HVAC
  • Light and Heavy Equipment Operator
  • Carpenters
  • Roofers
  • Welders
  • Small engine repair
  • Automobile mechanic
  • Light and heavy equipment mechanic
  • Landscaper
  • Commercial kitchen equipment service and repair
  • Painter

We are also always looking for the skilled handyperson and the not so skilled but eager to help volunteer that wants to take an active role in maintenance of CRE.

The Facilities Management Corps sponsor's Work Parties at Camp Rock Enon including Major Project Work Parties, Routine Maintenance Work Parties, Retired Friends of Camp Work Days and OA Work Parties.  We can also arrange for individual or unit projects and work parties upon request.

Retired Friends of Camp Work Days

Every Thursday a group of dedicated retired or semi-retired Scouters donate their time to CRE to help with the regular maintenance and repair needs at camp.  They also help with ongoing projects and improvements that are underway at CRE.  If you or someone you know has some extra time on their hands and would enjoy spending a day in the splendor of Camp Rock Enon contact the CRE Facility Managment Team.

Work Party Schedule

  • Typically work parties start at 9am and end by 4pm

  • Lunch is provided to those that RSVP in advance (so we can have enough food on hand)
