Outreach Camp July 18th – July 24th for Rising 7th – 12th Graders Have you ever hammered a nail to build a deck? What about used a mitre saw to cut a 2X4? During this week, we will divide into small groups to work with neighbors to remodel the houses of the elderly and those in need in our community. You will have a chance to try your hand at basic carpentry, painting or landscaping. Imagine building a wheelchair ramp for someone in need, or replacing the porch on a house of someone who is not able to do the work themselves. What about painting an entire house in a week? This service learning program is all about working together with people in the community to accomplish a task none of us could do by ourselves. |
