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.
