In a tough economy, those who have little are hit the hardest.
You can help...
Many elderly and disadvantaged people have to make tough choices…like keeping a house warm in the winter or buying food and medicine. But you and your group can help. You can help people in need with meaningful Christian home repair or community service. And, at the same time, you and your young people will hear God’s Word…do God’s Word…and deepen your spiritual walk; all while providing meaningful service to people in need.
And, we give you lots of options:
- Home repair or community service
- Domestic and international locations
- Over 160 trips...starting at $229
There's a mission trip just right for your budget and interests. Serve directly with Group Workcamps, or in conjunction with our partners at Simply Youth Ministry or The Micah Experience.
Join more than a quarter million people who have served on a Group Workcamps mission trip!
Help real people with real meaningful service,
and grow your kids closer to Christ...
As your teenagers put their faith in action, you’ll see God working in their lives. Working through them to serve people…working in them to deepen their walk with Christ.
Whether you’re building a wheelchair ramp, helping disabled children at a day camp, or weatherizing a widow’s home…you’ll make a real difference for people in need. (And it's fun!)
At Group Workcamps, the #1 goal is to help teens grow closer to Christ through service to people in need.
Serve from 5 to 10 days, domestic or international. Choose from more than 150 home repair or community service trips. If you're new to Group Workcamps, we invite you to learn more about us!
Watch your preteens grow in their Christian faith
by helping people in need...
Give your preteens a heart for service…and a heart for God. Your kids will grow closer to Jesus and develop character as they provide meaningful, age-appropriate community service to people in need.
At Group Workcamps, the #1 goal is to help kids grow closer to Christ through service to others.
As your preteens organize the home of an elderly person, stock a food pantry, or tidy-up a human service agency—they’ll be learning to convey what Christ’s love looks like…and have a blast doing it! Plus, devotions and evening programs help them make the connection between their service and their faith.
Choose from 9 domestic community service trips, 5 days in length.

Demonstrate God's love by helping people in need...
Give your youth group a trip that matters. A week of faith, friendship, and fun.
A week of sharing your faith through practical acts of service for families and individuals in need. A week to live-out Matthew 20:28, “For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many.”
Group Workcamps handles the registrations, organizes the trips, and nails down the details, while Doug Fields’ Simply Youth Ministry team helps with the programming and devotions.
Choose from home repair or a blend of community service/light repair. If you're new to Group Workcamps or Simply Youth Ministry, we invite you to learn more about us!
Turn Catholic social teaching into social living...
Give your teenagers a week of serving people in need through home repair—building wheelchair ramps…replacing rotting floorboards…weatherizing the home of a widow struggling to afford heating bills.
And, as your teenagers serve, God will work through them to launch spiritual growth.
The Micah Experience is designed for Catholic parishes that prefer programming specifically created for Catholic youth over ecumenical Group Workcamps. Each year, some Catholic parishes participate in The Micah Experience, and others in Group Workcamps.
The Micah Experience is developed and organized by Group Workcamps with programming help and advice from Catholic youth ministry experts across the country.
Choose a 6-day domestic home repair. If you're new to Group Workcamps or The Micah Experience, we invite you to learn more about us...or call us and we'll connect you with other parishes that have participated!
