Workcamps
Jubilee Project's Workcamps are a part of our Housing Development Program. Our Workcamps program provides volunteer labor for our housing projects, and helps cover costs of materials, through group and church donations. In 2007, Jubilee Project again received the Tennessee Housing Development Agency's Home Program Grant. This grant will enable us to construct two more handicapped accessible homes for needy members of our community.

Randy Hildebrant,
Jubilee Project's Church and
Community Worker and Workcamp Coordinator is spending a busy summer
with workcamps, building a new,
handicapped accessible home for a member of our community!
Jubilee Project was lucky enough to host nine workgroups
in the past year. As always, the impact these groups made on our
community is amazing. Their willingness to cheerfully serve the
people of Hancock County made our workcamp summer a great success. Special thanks are owed to Stephanie Kellner, our new mission intern. Stephanie's hard work and dedication helped make the summer of 2007 a great workcamp season. |

Work Needs: We've had
workcamps for the last 14 years, to rebuild an abandoned grocery store
into our community center and to perform home repairs around our area.
There is a little work left
to do at Jubilee Center, as well as ongoing repairs and upkeep.
We have also expanded our community home ministry through
a housing
grant -- we are working on finishing the third of three
handicapped
accessible homes! There
will
also
be opportunities for your group to share activities with our youth.
If your group would like to share a swim
party, a square-dance or a cookout with our youth or community, please
let us know. Groups: Adult
groups, or senior high groups along
with adults, are welcome for overnight stays. Junior High
students may stay overnight, if they are part of a group that also
contains Senior High youth and adults. For every five young
people, there must be at least one adult. Groups
will receive direction on jobs from
our staff, but also need to bring
their own work supervisors. These should be people familiar with
members of the group and have had some construction experience (home
repair counts!). Groups of any size are welcome, and your length
of stay can be variable. Fees are
dependent upon several factors, including the size of your group and
your lodging requirements.
If you
are interested in reserving a camp for 2008, please call us in November
of 2007. Workcamp dates fill up very quickly.
The sooner you
call, the more likely you are to get the dates your group wants.
