What We Do

The Group Workcamps Foundation exists as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization to provide dynamic short-term mission trips that help children, youth, and adults connect to Jesus while serving people in Christ's name.

The Micah Experience trips are ecumenical, focusing on the core Catholic beliefs that bring the Catholic church together.

Since 1977, nearly a quarter of a million participants have grown in their relationship with Christ, while providing more than 6 million hours of volunteer service directly to people in need.

*The purpose of our trips
The Micah Experience trips are designed to deepen your walk with Christ, while you serve people in Christ's name. It's not so much about the "service projects" (although the challenge is important), it's more about God changing the hearts of your young people...and the people that are served. The "work" fades, but the impact of selfless service and new relationships lasts! Our purpose is to come alongside youth and children's ministers and provide experiences where young people grow in Catholic faith and character...and have loads of fun at the same time.

*Develop a deeper spiritual life
Nothing seems to spark spiritual growth like putting your Catholic faith into action. And, when young people are pushed out of their comfort zones, away from the distractions of home, God gets through to them. With carefully planned evening programs (by the ministry experts at Group Magazine and Children's Ministry Magazine), devotions and service projects young people hear  God’s Word…do  God’s Word…and experience transformation. That's why more than 90% of participants say they come away with a deeper spiritual life.

*Types of trips
Opportunities vary from home repair to community service...domestic to international. Service projects are determined by the most pressing needs of the communities we serve in. Project crews are divided into small teams (typically 1 adult and 5 young people) to promote strong friendships within each crew...and to build meaningful relationships with the people you are serving.

A Micah Experience mission trip is a powerful way to jumpstart your faith. It's unforgettable. It's fun! And, it changes the lives of your young people and the people they serve…maybe that's why so many church groups come back year after year.

*The Micah Experience Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his death on the cross, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return.

We believe people receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life through Jesus.
