The work camp programs at the Chapel provide a context for
servant ministry and include work, worship, study and reflection.
It is an opportunity for community building between different
cultures, races and ages, in order to better understand
our unity and ministry in Christ's name.
The projects generally include maintenance
of the Chapel buildings, rehabilitation of homes, assistance
in our summer day camp programs, and community clean-up
in East Wheeling. We also assist our good friends at Habitat
for Humanity and the Catholic Neighborhood Center. Most
of the work sites are within one mile of the Chapel, in
the East Wheeling section--a racially mixed neighborhood
with a high rate of poverty.
Dormitory-style housing is available
at two nearby facilities. Both youth and adult groups are
welcome, including middle school youth. Participants come
from churches and other groups across the country, as well
as locally.
