Busy summers
with workcamps, repairing homes and helping work
community events. 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. |

Work Needs: We've had workcamps for the last 19
years, to rebuild an abandoned grocery store into our
community center and to perform home repairs around our
area. Jubilee Center, has ongoing
repairs and upkeep needs. 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 2013, please call us in
November of 2012. Workcamp dates fill up
very quickly. The sooner you call, the more
likely you are to get the dates your group
wants. For more information on Jubilee's
Workcamp Ministry, please contact Heidi or Jessica
Van Huss at 423-733-4195, or email |
