adult volunteers needed for work camp

WorkCamp 2025: June 21-27 - Shenandoah County, Virginia

WorkCamp is a week-long overnight opportunity for high-schoolers from St. Charles and across the Diocese to serve the less fortunate:

  • Adult volunteers and crew members are instrumental in making this a transformational experience for our youth.

  • Adult volunteer options range from staying with the high-schoolers for the week to organizing meals or serving as security for one or a few days.

  • Contact Grace Estes in the parish office at gestes@stcharleschurch.org if you are interested in knowing more about WorkCamp.
