What is Workcamp?
WorkCamp is a weeklong camp for high school youth to serve their brothers and sisters in need by making their homes safer, warmer, drier while also having the opportunity to grow in their Catholic faith. WorkCamp combines hands-on service for those in need with a faith-filled and fun atmosphere. Teens get the opportunity to participate in hands-on building projects for residents in need. Throughout the week, participants will be given opportunities for prayer, praise & worship, daily Mass, inspiring talks, Adoration, Reconciliation, along with great food and fun games. WorkCamp is a truly life-changing experience!
