Tioga Opportunities, Inc. recently announced that Group Workcamps will once again be coming to Tioga County. This free, no cost program provides assistance to eligible homeowners.
Group Workcamps are intensive one-week trips aimed at helping youth grow in a faith-based environment through service to others. Students and adult leaders come from across the country to spend a week in Tioga County, performing hands-on home repair projects at no cost to the homeowners.
Tioga Opportunities, Inc., a co-sponsor, is currently accepting applications from homeowners.
This year’s camp will take place July 19 through July 25. Approximately 450 youth have signed up to attend this year’s camp, and the application deadline for homeowners is April 15.
Projects may include the building of small decks, interior and exterior painting, installing new mobile home skirting, and the construction of wheelchair ramps, along with other ‘light’ construction projects.
For additional information, contact Andrew Hafer, Tioga Opportunities, Inc. Community Services Department director at (607) 687-4222 ext. 302, or email to ahafer@tiogaopp.org. If you email, put 2015 GWC in the subject line.
