Children with disabilities are like butterflies with a broken wing. They are just as beautiful as all others, but they need help to spread their wings.

We are looking for volunteers to perform a variety of small jobs (painting, raking the ground, crafts, etc ...) at the Papillon Work Bee which will be held Saturday, May 28, 2011 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m..

Bring your family and join us for a beautiful day outdoors; your transportation, dinner and snacks are included. A babysitting service is also available on site (provided by instructors from Camp Papillon).

Sign up directly on the Work Bee website of the STM volunteers.

Papillon Work Bee

A great site of love and solidarity

Each year, volunteers from all over get together for the Papillon Work Bee to participate in the preparation of the site to welcome the first campers just a few days following the event. Numerous groups and companies take part in this adventure, such as Hydro-Québec, the Sûreté du Québec, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Volunteers of the Société de Transport de Montréal (STM), the Samares School Board and the Association des Ami(e)s de Legendre.

There is work for everyone! Carpentry, electricity, plumbing, raking, interior and exterior painting, the talents of each participant is put to good use! After the Papillon Bee, as if by magic, the Camp Papillon site soon regains its original beauty as if there had been no winter at all! The pleasure of working together for the same cause is tangible as the day unfolds in a great party atmosphere.

The Papillon Work Bee is also the opportunity of carry out some wonderful projects. During the last editions of the Bee, the Camp acquired a very spacious library, a terrace with a panoramic view of Lake Pierre and a covered playground which enables the youngster to take part in outdoor activities in case of rain.

All these accomplishments were made possible thanks to the support of numerous organisations and volunteers who unstintingly gave of their time to carry out these projects.
