The Carolina Workcamp began in 1999. It is a week-long service project where Christian young people paint houses for free. It consists of 4 days of scraping and painting houses for people who are physically and or financially unable to do it themselves. 

Workcamp is a tool for teaching teenagers how to be servants of Christ. It focuses on hard work. It creates an environment where faith can grow. It opens a channel for teenagers to act on their need to give. 

Workcamp is about sacrifice, service, and going the extra mile. It is about making a difference in the world. It is about using talents. It is about building friendships. It is about fun. And it is centered on the cross of Jesus.

Who may participate?
Workcamp is for middle school and high school youth (7th-12th graders).  A workcrew consists of approximately 13 teens and 2 adults. There are multiple workcrews.

What does it cost?
Each teen workcamp participant pays $75 to attend. Adults attend for free.
