Oak Park Summer Splash Volunteers

The Oak Park Summer Splash is a day of fun and recreation for Oak Park families and surrounding communities, spearheaded by the Ferndale Area Chamber of Commerce. The event will highlight community assets such as the pool and putt-putt, while bringing in activities such as inflatables and music. 

We are currently looking for volunteers to help pull off this inaugural event. As a volunteer, you will be able to help families enjoy a day of fun and recreation at a very low cost. In addition to helping families have a good time, this event also raises funds for the Ferndale Area Chamber of Commerce.
