Spring 2026 Dome Takedown

Description

Dome Takedown Volunteers Needed

Each spring we remove the seasonal dome at Conway Community Center so the field can transition for outdoor programming. Volunteers will assist staff with deflating the dome and removing materials that secure the structure so it can be safely stored for the season.

This is an active volunteer opportunity and may involve lifting, bending, carrying materials, and working outdoors. Staff will provide instructions and tools as needed. 

Note: The date and shift times may change depending on weather conditions, including frost, high winds, or storms.
