EAM will sponsor three work camps in 2008: July 13 - 19; July 20 - 26: and July 27 - August 2. Spaces are available in the first and last week; the second week is already filled.

Work camps are open for individuals and small groups (usually no more than 6 from any one congregation). Work campers must be at least rising tenth graders. There is no upper age limit.

EAM bases its work camp experiences on the last three questions of the Baptismal Covenant: “Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?...Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons?...Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?” In this context, the work comes second to forming relationships between the work campers and the people who welcome them into their homes. Morning and evening worship are included, as is group reflection time.

The work groups interact with local families as they do home rehab work. Cost per person is $200.00, which includes food and lodging and covers a small portion of the building materials used. Accommodations at Grace House are in bunk houses (one for males and one for females) each with a bathroom and shower.
