The Group Workcamps Foundation exists as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization to provide dynamic short-term mission trips that help children, youth, and adults connect to Jesus while serving people in Christ's name.  Group Workcamps trips are ecumenical, focusing on the core Christian beliefs that bring the Christian church together.  

Since 1977, nearly a quarter of a million participants have grown in their relationship with Christ, while providing more than 6 million hours of volunteer service directly to people in need.


Group Workcamps trips are designed to deepen your walk with Christ, while you serve people in Christ's name.  It's not so much about the "service projects" (although the challenge is important), it's more about God changing the hearts of your young people...and the people that are served.  The "work" fades, but the impact of selfless service and new relationships lasts!  Our purpose is to come alongside youth and children's ministers and provide experiences where young people grow in Christian faith and character...and have loads of fun at the same time.

Nothing seems to spark spiritual growth like putting your Christian faith into action. And, when young people are pushed out of their comfort zones, away from the distractions of home, God gets through to them.  With carefully planned evening programs (by the ministry experts at Group Magazine and Children's Ministry Magazine), devotions and service projects, young people hear God’s Word…do God’s Word…and experience transformation. That's why more than 90% of participants say they come away with a deeper spiritual life. 

Opportunities vary from home repair to community service...domestic to international.  Service projects are determined by the most pressing needs of the communities we serve in.  Project crews are divided into small teams (typically 1 adult and 5 young people) to promote strong friendships within each crew...and to build meaningful relationships with the people you are serving.

A Group Workcamps mission trip is a powerful way to jumpstart your faith. It's unforgettable. It's fun! And, it changes the lives of your young people and the people they serve…maybe that's why so many church groups come back year after year.
