I think it was half an hour or an hour (for a $5 tentsite or shelter
berth), and usually it was stuff like collecting rocks for a wall or
carrying bags of wood chips to the composting privy. Funny thing was, it
was almost as much work as you had to do at the huts, but you didn't get a
meal, a bunk, and a hut stay. Everybody I was with just paid their money. I
think I heard that Tinkerbell (GA>ME '97) did WFS the whole way through and
didn't pay a cent.
