What is workcamp?
Workcamp is a mission trip that our church goes on every summer where teenagers and adults come together to serve individuals and communities while building strong, long-lasting relationships with their friends and youth leaders. In six short days, hundreds of teenagers from youth groups across the country repair and transform homes while growing closer to Jesus. This is a great opportunity to get to know teens and adults from our parish and serve others. You will grow in your faith, meet lots of new people and have a blast doing so!
THE PROGRAM
Led by the Group Mission Trip, teenagers and adults experience a Jesus-Centered Program through morning and evening programs and devotions. Using experiential and active learning, participants have many opportunities for serving, leading, discussing, reflecting, worship, games, and hands-on experiences.
