Our Mission Statement:

Helping Hands Mission Camp is a Christ centered, youth focused, multi- denominational community service mission to help the citizens of Gloucester County Virginia who need home repairs to make their houses warmer, dryer and safer.

History:

Helping Hands Mission Camp began in 2005 to help citizens of Gloucester County who needed help to complete basic repairs to their homes.

We are a camp for all Christian denominations and are dedicated to serving as part of the body of Christ. We serve Christ and Christ alone by minimizing denominational differences and celebrating our common belief ... that Jesus Christ is our risen Lord and Savior.

Our philosophy is unapologetically Christian and we seek to show the world how awesome youth are by showing those we help a measure of the grace God has bestowed on us.

Goals:

During camp youth learn how to use tools on their projects, but they also learn leadership skills and how to work as a team.  

The pride and sense of accomplishment youth feel after helping someone repair their home is a powerful motivation to keep helping others. 

In a world where the news is filled with the bad behavior of youth, we are excited to show how awesome and powerful youth can be when given the attention of adults who are passionate about missions and youth.

Helping Hands Mission Camp is an opportunity for faith building and creating a stronger bond with Jesus.  Daily devotions and nightly worship are filled with music and great teachings about the love Jesus has for us.

Youth will have the opportunity to have fun with other great youth during camp. Our nightly activities provide some down time to simply get to know other Christians that are the same age and face the same challenges.
