Why Group Workcamps?
When it comes to preteen mission trips, every detail counts. For most ten- to twelve-year-olds, this is a brand-new—and eye-opening—experience. Partnering with Group Workcamps gives you and your group the best possible opportunity for making a real difference. Why?
We sweat the details.
We’ve been doing this for 30 years, and we know a thing or two (or a thousand) about running a smooth, successful mission experience. We handle the projects, planning, meals, materials, and programs—so you’re free to focus on your preteens and their spiritual growth. (But don’t just take our word for it—give us a call and we’ll connect you with other churches in your area who can tell you all about it.)
Your preteens will grow closer to God.
Last year, more than 90% of students and adults said they grew closer to God through their Group Workcamps mission experience. We know this is a key goal of ministry leaders, so we use a unique, hands-on approach to helping kids grow in their faith. It really works.
You’ll impact the lives of others.
At every Group Workcamps mission location, we identify people with genuine needs and prepare them for your arrival. You’ll make a significant difference in their lives as you touch them with God’s love.
You get more for your money.
All service mission projects are not created equal. Look closely at what you get (and don’t get) when comparing costs of various mission trips. With projects starting at just $229, you’re sure to find a mission experience that’s just right for your group’s budget and interests.
Safety is a priority.
Safety is built into the very fabric of our mission trips…including national criminal background checks for all adults. Our extensive safety program includes safety training, detailed site inspections, adequate adult supervision, and certified First Aid staff members.
You can trust our staff.
Our leaders are thoroughly trained and represent the “cream of the crop”. Many of our staff come back year after year because they have a deep passion to help young people grow in their faith.
Evening programs that spark worship.
Expect high-energy, interactive, multi-media programs and devotions that work. We work with the experts at Children’s Ministry Magazine to develop and test our programs to be certain songs are relevant… challenges on target…that worship times are meaningful and memorable. Programs focus on core Christian beliefs and are appropriate for all denominations.
Built with you in mind.
Whether you have a group of 2 or 99, you can expect an experience that gives every participant a chance to serve and shine. If you want a spiritual growth experience for your preteens, you’ll find it at a Group Workcamps mission trip.
