“I went to this camp in order to grow spiritually and to help those with less resources than I.  At camp, we had specific crews of 5 people that worked on a home.  We had one chance to get to know our crews and bond spiritually with them and our resident.  I got to know my crew extremely well and we always assisted each other with tasks.  We learned how to be great team mates and we developed lifelong skills.  If we saw a fellow crew member that needed help with a task, we would eagerly jump to their side.  Through Workcamp, strong bonds were made and quality friendships were created. Every night we had an evening program that helped us grow spiritually.  By incorporating this into the schedule, I was able to become closer to God and my faith.  I was able to learn hoe to “Love Out Loud” (which was the theme of the camp).  Overall, I had a wonderful experience helping others, gaining quality friendships, and growing spiritually. ” --- Olivia Jaeger

“Workcamp this year was another great one.  As an adult it’s like a mini retreat; it’s not just for kids.  The feeling you get after spending a week with 400 kids, watching them grow spiritually as well as seeing them help their resident is hard to explain.  You have to see it to believe what happens to them during the week period of time.  At the close of Friday's evening program with our residence, she stopped on her way out the door to watch the kids singing and dancing a Christian song- she said ”Look God is truly at work here tonight.” This year's theme was Love out Loud – teaching everyone there how to take Risks, learn to Serve, watching it Multiply, knowing that God Forgives, and bringing it here so it can Last with each one of us.” ---Chris Brock (adult Leader)

"I had the privilege to attend Workcamp this year as a leader after attending twice previously as a youth.  The experience was different but very similar to how it felt as a youth.  I was amazed  at how the fun and energy didn’t care who was an adult or youth, everyone came together as peers to serve, discuss and worship.  I will be forever thankful and appreciative for the truly good youths out there.  I will continue to try to serve in God’s name and myself and help others who wish to do so too”—Jon Schneider (adult leader)

“Workcamp is one of my favorite things in the world.  I love how hundreds of teenagers come from all over the country to help people we do not know.  The atmosphere at workcamp is different than anywhere else.  Everyone is themselves and are so open to others no matter wether they are strangers or old friends.  My crew this year was AMAZING.  I got so close to a few people and it felt like I’d know them for months instead of only a week.  I meet some of the most amazing people that I will never forget.  I love all of the songs we sing and the enthusiasm we have to worship God.  The Thursday program touched me more profoundly Than I thought was possible.  God’s forgiveness is awesome.  A boy named Justin that I never met previously comforted me and prayed for me as I cried in one of my best friends arms.  Away from workcamp this year, I am a changed person.  I was so blest to be able to come this year, and I can not wait to to go next year.   ‘Love out love!”.     ” ---Sarah Mlsna

“This is my third workcamp with Group Workcamps and the experience never ceases to amaze me.  The Thursday night program of Reflection and Forgiveness is and always will be the most touching part of the camp.  After hearing the story about Jesus not casting stones at the woman who sinned, all the campers are welcome to reflect to music.  This night touched me every year, because it reminds me that God is so powerful, so awesome, that he will always forgive me.  I know that, no matter what, God will be there to forgive me, and he understands what I am going through.  During this program, it’s emotionally tough watching my friends break down and cry.  Overall, after the program, I feel completely pure and freed from sins.  It’s awesome.  Thank you for all of your support, it means so much.” ---Alison Markey

“I love Jesus more than anything else.  The experience is so great what I pulled out of the mission trip is remarkable.  Going to this workcamp is better that going to church for 10 years.” ---Michael Ritchie
