Adult Volunteers

If students are the arms and legs of Work Camp, adult volunteers are its heart and soul.
Work Camp could not operate without the hundreds of adult volunteers who give of their time
and finances to support this ministry. But dont think its all about giving!
Every adult who participates in Work Camp is guaranteed to receive tremendous blessing from
the time spent working with students and ministering to our City.
