Nightly
Programs
PBA WorkCamp 2015
Each night has
a worship service and special extras. In
years past, we
have gone
bowling, had a
themed night
with indoor
paintball+ more, “share night”, concerts, and other special events. Each
year’s camp has a theme, like- “Basic
training” or “Going Green”. Our theme is
carried throughout the week in the programming, Bible verse for the week, decorations, camp t-shirt, and the activity
night.
There is a “send off” service every
morning right after the hot & hearty
breakfast. All meals, activities, programming and construction materials are
included in the fee. Lodging is on your
own, but arrangement can be made to
stay at the host church, ‘free’. Groups
are responsible for their gas. Cash donations are encouraged to help with
expenses and to assist with camp costs.
Please bring large coolers for lunches/
H20“igloos” as well.

WHAT
WorkCamp began with a
dream...
We began WorkCamp when
Camp Director, Darlene
Scheepers, a former Youth
Director at Emmaus Baptist, Poquoson, Va. ...had a
dream to build a house for
a lady in need of a new home. From that “adopt-ahouse” was born. Harald Aadahl, then a Minister
from Temple Baptist, Newport News, had been involved since 1988 in Tri-cities WorkCamp in Petersburg, VA, but was very interested in a local project.
Tommy Rowe, past Youth Minister of Bethel Baptist,
Tabb got involved as well and led his youth to participate for several years. Tommy developed and provided the programs. Since then WorkCamp evolved
and developed into a week long mission project,
