Catholic HEART Workcamp

Our Mission

Our mission is twofold. First, to enrich the lives of others: We will revitalize and beautify homes of the elderly and others who cannot afford needed repairs.

We will work in food distribution centers and, also, interact with children of low-income families, brightening their lives in daycare centers.

Second, to enrich our own lives: We emphasize relational ministry, hands-on service, and prayer. By joining together as the Body of Christ, giving of ourselves and performing acts of mercy, we will be living out our baptismal call to serve others. Loving our neighbors and sharing our gifts will build self esteem and inspire us to ongoing service in our local communities.

Throughout the workcamp we will have many opportunities to experience God’s love. We will hear His invitation to renewal and be motivated to deepen our faith commitment.

Service Activities

During the day, young people will be organized into teams to work on projects. The teams will make repairs and improvements to homes that have been pre-selected and prepared by local community agencies, work with underprivileged children in local daycare centers, or help feed needy families by working in food distribution centers.

Each team will consist of six young people and one adult leader from different youth groups.

Evening activities will include: games, skits, singing, Youth Liturgy, prayer, lots of fun, teaching, plenty of laughter, and community building.

Each workcamp will have a free day for groups to have some fun together. Registrants will receive (upon receipt of their deposit) information on attractions and other fun places to go in their host city.

Transportation or the costs of "free day" activities are not included in the workcamp fee.

Motivational Programs

Every morning and evening will be filled with an energetic program that will inspire, stimulate and motivate participants to serve others.

You will experience learning activities and high-tech programming at its best. Young people are actively involved on-stage with prayer services, games, skits, videos, testimonies, dramas, singing and youth liturgies. Each session will include community building, loads of fun, laughter and messages that will inspire participants to grow closer to Christ.
