The Diocesan Work Camp is a week-long camp experience for high schoolers (incoming 9th through graduated 12th grade) to serve our brothers and sisters in need by making their homes safer, warmer, drier, and greener while also having the opportunity to grow in our Catholic faith. We'll be helping a large handful of residences and building relationships in the Wise County area by day, and enjoying time for social and spiritual opportunities at our base camp, in the evenings! If you enjoy service trips, or if you've never been on one and always thought it would be cool to learn how to use fancy tools properly and help others, you don't want to miss this trip!
