The Office of Youth Ministry is busy with WorkCamp 2006 preparations. WorkCamp is a week-long service program for high-school aged youth that occurs each summer at a location within the Diocese of Arlington. If you are not familiar with WorkCamp or the many blessings that it has provided to youth programs and parishes over the years, then please feel free to call us to get more information.

WorkCamp 2006 will be in Orange, VA. We will be planning for 300 workcampers, so that each parish will be allowed to invite approximately 10-15 youth. The cost per participant (youth and adult) will be $400.

We have already closed registration for 2006, but check back in Sept. 2006 for info about WorkCamp 2007.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Office of Youth Ministry at (703) 841-2559.
