Groups

We Welcome Groups
      Large and Small,
           Local or Visiting to
                  Come Build With Us!

Whether you are large or small, local, from a place far, far away, or in-between, come build with us! We usually have projects in progress all year around and we can accommodate nearly any type of group. We provide site supervision for our construction sites when needed.

The Blue Water Area sits on an International border and offers sandy beaches, the Great Lakes oldest lighthouse, a light ship open for tours, museums that highlight Thomas Edison, as Port Huron was his boyhood home, as well as the tall ship, Highlander Sea, open for tours in season, just to name a few.

All this is nestled on the shores of the busiest waterway in the world, the St. Clair River, and Lake Huron. We have gracious local hospitality from support of our local churches and eateries that cater to our visitors.

Accommodations can range from the use of a local church to using the local Boy Scout or Girl Scout Camp, camping at one of the local state parks, rental of a cottage on Lake Huron or a local motel. Churches are customarily free of charge. All other accommodations have a charge. Please email us with details with your needs and we will get back to you.

Construction volunteers must go through an orientation. This can either be completed on-line or we would be happy to send an Blue Water Habitat representative to your office.

We appreciate your interest in volunteering with Blue Water Habitat and look forward to working with you in the future!

We have several ways of working with volunteer groups:

If your group members will schedule themselves, then you can request from our staff an access code so that when used, will ensure your volunteers all schedule themselves on the same projects and times. This is usually used if you have a large organization where only some are volunteering, or if your organization is sponsoring a build or build dates. If this describes your group, then please [ email ] us.

If you will have a group leader that will schedule your entire group at once. You can create your group online, then schedule your group via our online system. This method requires that the group leader coordinates with it's members and is responsible to ensure you have as many volunteers participate on your dates as you sign up for. If you provide the group members email addresses, we can automatically email them the schedule reminders. If this describes your volunteer group, please go to our volunteer calendar, click the "group leader" option at the top, and click the "SIGN UP" button where you find opportunities that meet your interests and availability.
