American Whitewater needs your help! Volunteers are only asked to donate a minimum two hours of their time leaving plenty of room for that river run or late night fun. This is one of the easiest ways to help American Whitewater's river stewardship work.

Every year we have a great crew of volunteers helping out AW with this exciting event, we'd love to have you join our team for the fun this time around.

If you are interested in volunteering for the Deerfield River Festival, please email the volunteer coordinator Evelyn Locke, be sure to include when you will be available to help out. Thanks, we'll see you there!

Festival Cleanup
Sunday Cleanup*
* Sunday's cleanup is usually a team blitz on the field that leaves time for a run on the river if you're so inclined.

When you get to the event site, you will need to check in with American Whitewater. At registration we will confirm your information, have you sign a waiver, provide a quick orientation, and give you your free volunteer t-shirt.
