Weather Policy

In true Island fashion, we dig in the rain, but not in atmospheric rivers. We embrace the damp loam, but if a major storm or high-wind warning is in effect, we will postpone. If you don't hear from us, grab your rain gear and we’ll see you there!

The Details

• Safety First: We’ll start with a quick safety briefing and project plan before heading to the dirt.

• No Experience Needed: Our Lead Builders will show you the ropes. We focus on high-quality, sustainable work over speed.

• Duration: Typically 2–4 hours.

• Tools: All tools are provided by NMBC.

• Food: Pizza and drinks provided by sponsor.

What to Bring

• Gear: Durable, closed-toe boots and clothes you don’t mind getting muddy.

• Layers: Bring extra layers to stay warm during breaks and rain gear for wet days.

• Supplies: Plenty of water, a snack, bug spray, and a cell phone.
