WORKCAMP 2008
7th thru 12th Grades
Mid-Ohio Valley Work Camp is a project organized to give young people an opportunity to serve God by serving others who are in need. This will be the seventh annual camp. In 2004, we were able to paint 33 houses in this area. We will once again be using the campus of Ohio Valley University as our Home Base during the week. All groups will meet in the gym for breakfast and a devotional each morning before dispersing to the various sites. Lunches will be provided at local churches, and dinner will be served in the evenings back at OVU.
The houses that will be painted during the week are referred to as work sites. The tasks at hand at the sites will include scraping, painting, caulking, minor repairs, cleaning up and perhaps light yard work. Most of the houses at the sites are owned by people who
are living on limited incomes or by senior citizens who cannot do the work themselves.
Each site will be inspected by adults and the local electric company before Work Camp begins. First aid is available at each site. Water will be provided at each site during the day. Our policy is always safety first!
