Work Camp
This is a year-round work opportunity
for volunteers in mission and service-minded groups. Work Camp
strives to provide home repair for low-income community residents
and maintenance for Mission buildings and grounds. Some examples
of work projects are roof replacement, small room additions, painting,
building porches or ramps, and grounds keeping. Other light duty
work is available such as cutting soup upc's, office work, craft
and community store helpers, and recycling. A single fee covers
the cost of each person's lodging, meals, and materials used.
In addition to providing mission opportunities,
we strive to provide an atmosphere where participants grow spiritually
and gain a personal understanding of mission. Evenings are spent
in Christian fellowship and learning about the diverse ministries
of Red Bird Mission.
