Workcamp '08-Summer Mission Trip - Spring Grove, Pennsylvania
 

Workcamp 2008 Information Meeting with Parents is:

Wednesday, August 22, 2007
6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Kohler Hall and Music Room


June 14-21, 2008 senior high youth & young adults from the parish will head to Spring Grove, Pennsylvania and join approximately four hundred young Christians from around the nation to participate in Group Workcamp. For a week, we will repair, paint, and weatherize homes for families trapped in poverty. By giving a week of hard work we will come to understand the human side of poverty and we will know that we can make a difference. Through our caring, we will come to understand Christ's love for all people.

Youth interested in Workcamp, (this includes veteran Workcampers) and their parents, need to attend an orientation in August. Participants must be in at least ninth grade, and age 15 through age twenty. Adults interested in leadership roles, must be twenty-one or older. Applications for both participants and adult leaders are available in late summer and will be accepted until the camp fills, or early September!
