Who are we
The Upper Stoney Lake Association is a community group dating back as early as 1896. Our landmark Sunset Pavilion has served as one of our key community gathering places for generations of lake traditions. Our volunteers from 300+ member families work year-round to protect the lake and strengthen our community through environmental stewardship, boating safety programs, community events, and youth activities. We are reintroducing a regular program of children’s crafting activities in addition to concurrent free play outdoor activities.

What we are looking for
Help us achieve our goal of making a positive impact on our community by coordinating kids’ crafting activities and setting up outdoor self-directed activities for kids of USLA member families. Two afternoons each week throughout July & August we will provide a drop-in 2-hour crafting session for USLA member families hosted in our historic Sunset Pavilion. You can decide what the crafts will be and you will collaborate with the Activities Director to determine a slate of suitable and attainable crafts for children who may represent a range of skill levels. Materials will be provided or reimbursed by USLA.
Additionally, you will set out items for outdoor games such as volleyball/badminton net, cornhole, horseshoes, etc to participate in self-directed, unsupervised play during the same 2-hour window as crafting, and return them to storage at the end of each shift. These items are provided by USLA.
