What is Workcamp
Workcamp is a weeklong service program with high school youth from across the Diocese. Throughout the week the teens and adult volunteers help people in need by making their homes warmer, safer, and drier. Workcamp is an opportunity to deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ and build community with others. Testimonies and videos of previous workcamps are provided below.
