Volunteer Treasure Challenge

Haven’t quite decided to volunteer this year at war, huh? Well, perhaps you just need a little incentive...


The Volunteer Department of Great Western War XIII would like to challenge any and all NON-STAFF MEMBER volunteers.

The first person to complete a shift (two hour minimum) with TEN different departments at war (pre-war set up not included) will receive the Grand Prize.

All prizes are in addition to the raffle tickets that are issued per shift for the War Prize Raffle!

Volunteer Shuttle

Attention Volunteers! Want to volunteer but not into the walk all the way to gate? Never fear, there's a Volunteer Shuttle that runs just for the purpose of getting our volunteers to and from your destination. Check in at Headquarters, which will be in a tent near merchants row 15-20 minutes before your shift and let us know that you need a ride to your volunteer location. At the end of your shift, let your shift supervisor know that you need a ride back and that person will radio for a pick-up. It might not be immediate, but we will do the best that we can to save your feet the long trek back. Please be considerate, courteous, and reasonable, the driver may not be able to take everyone at one time, or may not be able to give you door-to-door service, or may not be there exactly at the moment that you want, but it's better than not at all! We appreciate everyone that steps up to help make the war run smoothly!
