What is Camp M*O*S*H?
- Camp MOSH is a 5 1/2 day camp where volunteers throughout the community gather together to give a helping hand to those in need. A sense of community is built by providing support for our neighbors helping them with projects such as (but not limited to) painting, light carpentry work, yard work and cleaning. Our purpose is to serve the needs in our community!
Who does Camp M*O*S*H help?
- There are so many people within our own community who just need a helping hand. Whether it be someone who just lost a job, suffering from a long illness, an elderly neighbor or maybe someone who is just feeling overwhelmed with life. We all need help at times. In addition, we also help non-profits right here in our community who rely on volunteers to keep their organization running. If you have a job that can be accomplished by teenagers, supervised by adults, maybe we can help. DEADLINE is June 16th! (We are not accepting anymore Work requests projects at this time.)
- No more work requests are being taken.

Their bench sits under the black spruce tree canopy east of the daylily garden." - Bourbonnais Grove Historical Society.
