Salkehatchie Summer Service is for high school and college age youth drawn primarily from the South Carolina United Methodist Conference. Participants must be at least 14 years old by the beginning of the camp they attend. Adult leaders are also needed to offer guidance and support. There will be more than 2700 participants involved in 2008.
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.
There will be forty-eight camps. The Salkehatchie Steering Committee establishes camps where need, opportunity, personnel and facilities meet.
Each camp runs from Saturday to Saturday. Camps are offered from May through August.
Many of our neighbors in South Carolina live in homes needing repair and Jesus has called us to love our neighbor (Luke 10:29-37). South Carolina United Methodist Youth need to experience Christian servanthood. “And he said to all, ‘If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’ ” (Luke 9:23)
There is a $200 fee per person. Each volunteer participates fully in the experience of serving, growing, learning and sharing together.
