Diocese of Arlington WorkCamp

Diocesan WorkCamp is months of formation and preparation that culminates with a week long service project repairing and renovating homes of people who are mentally, physically or financially challenged, or elderly. The teens and adult crew leaders prepare for this for over 6 months.  Jesus says that the heart of the Christian faith is found in two great commandments: loving God and loving others.  Loving God and loving others is what WorkCamp is all about. 

We need your help.  Most importantly we need your prayers for the adults that volunteer, the teens that go and especially for the people we serve.

We Need Adult Volunteers

 St. Ambrose needs adult crew leaders and contractors to help with projects. The Diocese can also use anyone who is handy around the house at any time this summer.   If you can give any time, please contact Andy Stoss, our WorkCamp Stakeholder, at sastakeholder@stambroseva.org.

It costs $475 for each teen and adult leader that attends WorkCamp.  All funds go to renting the high school where we stay, feeding us for the entire week and purchasing all the supplies needed to complete projects at over 180 homes. We spend the year doing a lot of fundraising and appreciate your financial support.  

Please know that we will be praying for you, our parish family, during our week at WorkCamp and we hope you will remember us in your prayers. St. Ambrose is a loving and generous community and we are truly blessed to be part of it.

Thank you and God bless you!
