About Us

The Group Workcamps Foundation exists as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization to provide dynamic short-term mission trips, domestically and internationally. Since 1977, nearly a quarter of a million participants have grown in their relationship with Jesus, while providing more than 6 million hours of volunteer service directly to people in need.

Group Workcamps® is located in Loveland, Colorado where it all began! Be sure to read the interesting history of how Group Workcamps started.

Each year, thousands of youth groups prove to us that nothing ignites spiritual growth like putting Christian faith into action. The results are amazing as teenagers travel to a community, serve people in Christ's name, and (with a little guidance and nurturing) grow in faith and character—and have loads of fun at the same time!

On a Group Workcamps short-term mission trip, you’ll find that “service” is balanced with “spiritual growth”. Our #1 goal is to provide an opportunity for God to work in the hearts of your teenagers. Through carefully planned evening programs (by the youth ministry experts at Group Magazine), devotions and service projects, teenagers hear God’s Word…do God’s Word…and experience transformation. And, the byproduct is meaningful service for people in need.
That’s why more than 90% of participants say they come away with a deeper spiritual life.
Choose from different types of mission experiences (home repair, community service, domestic, international) in over 70 locations, at a variety of price points…so that you can find a mission trip just right for your youth group.

A Group Workcamps multi-denominational mission trip is a powerful way to jumpstart your teens' faith. It's unforgettable. It's fun! And, it changes the lives of your young people and the people they serve…maybe that's why so many church groups come back year after year.

Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his death on the cross, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return. We believe people receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life through Jesus.
