Young people feel God's presence when they reach out to help others. This awareness of God's presence stimulates growth. A sense of community builds within a youth group as members plan and work toward a common purpose. As the group shares responsibilities, mutual reliance on one another builds trust and respect. Tackling work projects challenges youth groups to develop strengths and interdependence.
Young people begin to stretch their trust and commitment.
Workcamping creates unique opportunities for evangelism. Young people can influence their family members, friends and others towards Christian growth. After breakfast and a morning devotion, campers will head off to the prearranged work site at the home of a needy family. They will undertake a number of tasks, ranging from painting, and yard work, to minor carpentry and roof repairs. Each work day will conclude with a hearty dinner, a discussion of the day's activities and a worship time.
