Mon. July 6 to Fri. July 10, 2026 - 9:00am to 5:00pm
Middle School Work Camp 2026 is a weeklong summer day-camp for Middle School youth (grades 6-8 for the 2025-26 school year) that combines hands-on service with fun, fellowship, and prayer! This year we will be joined by St. Joseph, St. Mark, Our Lady of Good Counsel, and St. Leo parishes, so this is a great opportunity to make new friends & grow in your faith with other young people from all around the Arlington Diocese. Each day, the teens will participate in hands-on service projects, enjoy snacks and free time to hang out with friends (old & new), and a dynamic afternoon program designed to help our young people grow in their faith!
WorkCamp 2026's homebase this year will be at St. Mark Catholic Church (9970 Vale Rd. Vienna, VA 22181)! We'll gather in the morning for Mass and a rally to start each day, then the teens will travel to work sites located nearby to do direct service projects for those in need. Once the work time is done, everyone will travel back to St. Mark for an afternoon of fun & games, fellowship, and an engaging program to help the teens to grow deeper in their faith.
This is a very popular event and it can fill up fast, so please register ASAP and provide payment to lock in your spot (refundable if you have to drop before camp). An additional parish is joining us this year so we are at a higher risk of filling up all roster spots - don't wait to register.
