2024 Dates & Locations

Group Workcamps are summer camps with up to 400 teenage participants that focus specifically on residential home repair for elderly, disabled, low-income famillies, and veteran residents. You and your group will step into a resident’s story and transform their home while deepening your faith and building new relationships. Home repair projects range from painting to constructing porches, steps, and wheelchair ramps, and other general home repairs.

When you arrive at each resident’s home, you bring far more than loaded tool belts and construction materials. Beyond the physical transformation that happens in communities, you’ll bring the hope and light of Jesus to the residents you serve.

You will stay at a local school in the community you’re serving. The lodging facility is filled with fun and energy throughout the week as you engage in indoor and outdoor games, share meals together, and participate in worship and Scripture-based teaching in morning and evening programs led by our sta You’ll be amazed at how quickly strangers become family and di erences begin to disappear as you come together to serve with a shared purpose.

At Week of Hope, you and your group will come alongside seasoned local ministries and nonprofits to make a lasting di erence through meaningful community service projects. Teenagers will learn Christ-like empathy and compassion for others as you meet the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of disadvantaged children, youth, and adults.

Our community service mission trips are smaller-sized gatherings (fewer than 100 participants). Whether you’re out serving, enjoying a familystyle meal, or wrapping up the day at evening program, the intimate environment at each Week of Hope location allows you to build strong relationships that last beyond your week at camp.

Each service project is the result of a partnership we build with organizations, ministries, and individuals who live, work, and serve in each community. Projects might include providing meals to the homeless, tutoring struggling children from low-income families, helping to lead a day camp for kids, working with disabled children, or sharing stories with a lonely elderly person in an assisted-living facility. Our hope is that you walk away knowing more about what our partners do year-round—and your role in the big picture.

The fun continues back at the local church you’ll be staying at, with themed days, movie nights, lip-sync battles, bedtime stories, group games, and much more!

Unlimited customer support from your personal Mission Trip Advisor

An international mission trip is an incredible faith-building adventure where your youth can discover the value of service, leadership, teamwork, and personal and spiritual growth.

International trips are available year-round through our trusted partner organizations* that we’ve worked closely with over the years. We partner with long-term ministries rooted in the countries we serve. Our partners are hard at work meeting spiritual and physical needs year-round. When you arrive, you’ll come alongside their ongoing e orts and provide support and encouragement through meaningful service.

As you disconnect from everyday pressures, you’ll establish a familial community as you encounter new experiences together with your group. You’ll find a willingness to be present and engaged as you work hard and develop relationships with residents, community partners, and teammates.

As God’s children, he invites us to partner with what he is already doing. There is so much life to experience, joy to be found, and lifechanging transformation when you travel beyond your borders. Are you ready?
