Adult leaders are also needed to offer guidance and support. What? This program of the South Carolina Conference Board of Global Ministries consists of a number of work camps for United Methodist Youth in South Carolina. During the week participants physically improve homes of needy families and reach out to these families and one another in friendship. Where? There are over fifty camps. Camps are established where need, opportunity, personnel and facilities meet. When? Each camp runs from Saturday to Saturday. Camps are offered from June through the end of July. How Much? $250 per person. If you are a church member, Bethesda will cover half of your cost. Each participant must complete the online registration and pay their registration fee.
