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!
who participates in workcamp?
WorkCamp is organized and led by the Catholic Diocese of Arlington Office of Youth, Campus, and Young Adult Ministries. The majority of parishes in the diocese participates with total numbers of youth totaling roughly 800+ each year, along with 500+ adults. WorkCamp typically takes place the last week of June. Participants spend the week living out of a school in VA that is local to the area in which the service is happening. All meals are included throughout the week.
Teens in high school are invited to attend as youth participants. Adults are invited to participate as adult leaders, contractors, afternoon security, homebase volunteers, and by helping coordinate fundraisers and events in preparation for WorkCamp. If you have a disability, call (703-356-3092) or email (bemrich@saintlukemclean.org) Tiffany to talk about how you can participate. All are welcome.
