Work Weekends
"Beds, hot showers, the sauna, food, fresh air, camaraderie, and work will be at Salolampi in plentiful supply."
-Mike Anuta
Work weekends (talkoot) at Salolampi started in 1993 with volunteers joining together to assemble three log cabins from Finland. These weekends, one in the fall and one in the spring, have continued ever since to help maintain the village. Anyone is free to attend work weekends and bring whatever skills they have with them whether it be painting, chopping wood, cleaning or organizing. Read more about work weekends here.
