Camp is for those youth who have completed 7th graders and older. Not designed to handle younger students then 7th grade, so please refrain from bringing them to camp. College students
are ok with us! Cost $125 per youth, (for HBC youth $50 off from your church, you pay $75). Youth groups must come with adults unless there are unique and very rare special circumstances.
. 
we might be returning to Mr. Crews this year! To help finish what we started last year (above).
Not WorkCamp, but we did work on this house during a WorkCamp!
16th year of the camp, as now configured. 17th year (2009) including "adopt a house"-
the first year we only had one project, built an entire house! House build and still standing,
in the Messick area of Poquoson, VA. House survived Isabel,
when many in that area suffered much damage.
Young lady in sling, came to camp with the arm problem
Theme 2009: (a green theme????)
New theme every year.
Camp coordinator is Darlene Scheepers. Work site coordinator is Harald Aadahl. Site leaders
are needed to assist each day on the worksites. Willingness to serve is more important than construction
knowledge. Knowledge of construction is very helpful and useful as well. Materials, some tools, advise and suggested plan are provided. Site information and directions are given the first night.
