What is FredCamp ?
"We exist to bring together youth and adult volunteers for one week each year; together, we live and work together in a Christian community, performing critical home repairs and remodeling for low-income individual and families in Fredericksburg and the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline and King George. We also make time for fellowship, fun, and great food!"
Ways to help
St. Peter’s does not have a mission trip this summer but FredCamp is a wonderful way to participate in mission – and they are fixing up homes in Caroline County. Here are ways to participate :
1. GO-FERS…MANY NEEDED!!
These great folks with cars and/or small pick-ups and vans are willing to give us a half-day (about 3 hours, morning or afternoon), a full day (about 6 hours) or all five work days, Mon-Fri during camp week. Go-Fers are sooo important! They run shopping errands, deliver supplies to our sites, provide camper transportation and help out with administrative tasks around camp headquarters. Contact Pam Jewett-Bullock or Charles Bullock (540)729-0840 or (540)720-2887.
(This is a good option to help – 3 hours and you can work with Caroline County locations!)
2. LUNCH & DINNER ANGELS
We need a Lunch Team willing to adopt and provide lunch on their site on each of our 5 work days (Mon-Fri, July 1-5). This is a wonderful ministry for a small group of friends, a Sunday school class, a men’s fellowship group, etc. We also need a Dinner Team willing to provide dinner for one camp evening for about 90 people. Contact Wendy Cannon (540)760-3949.
3. SATURDAY WRAP-UP TEAM
When we are exhausted, we so appreciate those willing to come Saturday morning for several hours (about 9a-12noon) just to help us pack up supplies (so they are ready for next year’s camp), get the campers sent off with their parents (and, hopefully, all their belongings!) and put the school back together the way we found it. We can’t go home to rest ourselves until this is done! Call Pam Jewett-Bullock or Charles Bullock (540)729-0840 or (540)720-2887.
