Workcamp 2026

Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan
July 13 - 17, 2026

One week. Hundreds of volunteers. Countless lives touched. And so many amazing memories!

From repairing homes and building ramps to sharing laughter, making new friends, and spreading hope throughout Metro Detroit, Workcamp 2026 was a week filled with hard work, big hearts, and the love of Jesus in action. See what happens when people come together to serve, make a difference, and bring hope to their neighbors. ❤️

A HUGE thank-you to Group Mission Trips, every camper, adult leader, homeowner, volunteer, donor, and supporter who made this incredible week possible. We couldn't have done it without you!

✨ Many hands. One mission. A lasting impact. ✨

What is Workcamp?

First English Lutheran Church has partnered with Group Mission Trips to sponsor a Workcamp in Metro Detroit from July 13-17. Workcamp brings hundreds of teens from church groups across the country to perform free home repairs for people in need.

Repairs range from building porches, wheelchair ramps, steps, and handrails to interior and exterior painting. Beyond the physical transformation that happens in communities, Workcampers bring the hope and joy of Jesus to the residents they serve.

Workcampers are housed at a Grosse Pointe public school and will enjoy our community amenities during their time off. Please join us in supporting this ministry and including Workcamp in your prayers!
