This crew consists of eight to ten volunteers, led by a paid Crew Boss and Camp Coordinator. The season runs from late July through September. The work week is 40 hours requiring 5 days and 4 nights working and camping in the backcountry. Crew members are asked to provide their personal gear. The GMC provides stoves, cooking gear, water purifiers, tents, first-aid supplies, and other group camping equipment.
Food is provided for the volunteers and staff.
Days-off housing, transportation to the work site, and tools are provided. Volunteer crew members may work for one week or several. This is an excellent opportunity to learn skills necessary to obtain a paid crew position in the future. Applicants should have excellent health, emotional maturity, social adaptability, and the ability to live and work closely with others in remote and primitive surroundings, often in adverse weather conditions. LTP crews encounter many hikers and must be outgoing and personable.
