In addition to the work on the
lake and trails and planned/guided hikes, the Shaver Lake Volunteers
assist with a variety of annual events.
Some of these events are community
activities that attract visitors to Shaver
Lake, such as the car show and the July
fireworks show on the lake. The
volunteers usually assist in traffic
control, patrol, organizing entertainment
and activities, and public assistance.
They’ve assisted with outdoor events, such
as the Tour’d Granite (Mountain bike race),
"Sierra Challenge" adventure race, Dog Sled
Races and the 10K run.
They also help with educational
endeavourers, such as the Fire Safe
Festival, which is put on by the local Fire
Safe Council for the public; and Science
Day, a day designed to educate elementary
school children within the community about
our local natural resources. Shaver
Lake Volunteers have also volunteered on a
variety of commercials, television and movie
projects that have taken place in the Shaver
area during the past few years. If any of
this interests you come on out and
