Catalyst Catholic and Catholic Heart Workcamp will provide all you need for an unforgettable mission trip experience in 2024. Catholic HEART Workcamp faithfully and enthusiastically serves the Roman Catholic Church and its teachings, and is an excellent opportunity to “love the least of these”. Who thought sweat and hard work could be fun?!?

CHWC offers authentically Catholic, youth-friendly, short-term mission trips at over 50 locations around the world. From working with at-risk youth to serving in soup kitchens, cleaning up the environment to beautifying communities, they provide youth with the opportunity to share their gifts, experience energetic praise & worship, and serve others in a variety of work sites. Learn more about our trip on the CHWC site.

Registration: At this time, our pre-purchased spots have been filled. However, if you are interested in attending, please fill out the waitlist form! For every 5 names on the waitlist, we can purchase 5 more spots.

Attending your first mission can be a little intimidating, which is why we are pleased to partner with Catholic Heart Workcamp for this excellent, safe experience for youth. Each Workcamp is equipped with a trained summer staff, a full-time director and manager, musicians, nurses, youth ministers, and priests. This company has a track record of providing youth with spiritually uplifting, theologically sound experiences in a very safe environment. Here are some of the policies and procedures and most commonly asked questions from parents and youth, just like you!

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

• Registration opens at noon on February 1, 2024. Due to a limited number of spots for this year’s trip, we will be offering registration on a first-come, first-served basis, up to 25 students.

• Once all twenty-five spots have been filled we will open a waiting list. For every five youth and one adult on the waiting list, Catalyst Catholic will purchase more spots if available through CHWC.

• Each participant will be required to submit a $100 deposit via credit card at the time of registration. Additional payments may be made by cash, check, or credit card. The full $600 payment will be invoiced to parents and will be due by June 15, 2024.

• Be sure to talk to your parish youth minister to see if your parish offers fundraising opportunities or suggestions in your community.

• If, at a later time, the participant is unable to attend the mission trip, he or she will need to “sell” their spot (for the deposit + any additional payments) to a young person on the waiting list to receive a refund. Catalyst Catholic will not provide refunds, as refunds from CHWC will not be given to Catalyst Catholic.
