Volunteering is the lifeblood of Chester Bowl. The wonderful experiences at Chester Bowl would not be possible without the dedicated efforts of volunteers. Commitment to the park environment and to youth is shared by Chester Bowl Improvement Club (CBIC) members and friends from a community that commit their time and abilities to provide opportunities for everyone. In addition to numerous park opportunities, CBIC committees offer a terrific behind the scenes way to support the bowl. The meetings are casual and rewarding. Plus, volunteer hours count toward the annual ski program. To find the committee the works best for you, take a look at the descriptions and get involved today.
