Winchester is a historic town where both bluegrass and Southern hospitality abound. They are also known for their Ale-8-One soft drink that dates to 1926, the only soft drink invented in Kentucky that is still around today. Group Workcamps has been in Winchester over 14 years ago. The hard work of those participants is remembered and, in fact, the reason we've been invited back.

You will discover that although Winchester is a few short miles off the highway, they are not out of reach or out of touch. In this historic town and the surrounding rural countryside of rolling hills, residents just need a little help and hope.

Home repair is just part of the story…Your teenagers will share the love of Christ with people by performing much needed home repairs. They’ll serve as they’ve never served before. And, over six days, you’ll see your young people transformed—their Christian faith deepened.

You don't need to be a construction guru to have a satisfying experience. All you and your youth group need is a willingness to serve the elderly, disabled, or disadvantaged. Typically, you’ll work at a home in small teams (5-6 teenagers with one or two adults) helping someone who needs—and appreciates—your help.

From the moment your group arrives on Sunday afternoon, your teenagers will begin making new friends.

You’ll eat together…worship together…and create new favorite stories. You’ll lift the spirits of a community! All while you’re having the time of your lives.

Everyone serves, each person in an important role. There’s a good chance you and your young people will learn new skills, and we’ll help. Plus, we handle the logistics and details (even the cooking and cleaning) so you and your youth group can focus on growing in your faith. You’ll experience projects like…

-Interior and exterior painting

-Building or repairing porches and wheelchair ramps

-Building or repairing steps

-Weatherization and other home repairs

You’ll applaud the daily programs and devotions. Along with up to 400 other people, you’ll experience high-impact, interactive programs with music, Scripture, video, drama, and hands-on activities…led by a trained youth ministry professional.

And, we've got you well-covered with trained staff to handle project materials, project assignments, office, program multimedia, project site coaching…and more.

Plan now to challenge your youth this summer. Bring your group closer to Jesus at a Group Mission Trip Workcamp.
