We’ll kick off the afternoon with a fun, family-friendly tailgate at 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM featuring food, and fellowship.

Join us for Season 5 of SVdP Teen Service Week!

You will get to work with our Carpenter’s Sons Ministry, a group of amazing carpenters, to learn new skills while helping someone in our community! Projects include things like rebuilding decks, building wheelchair ramps, and many other fun carpentry and home repair opportunities.

The program runs from Monday, June 9, through Thursday, June 12, and you will work with a group of other teens, and several experienced carpenters.

Lunches and snacks will be provided each day, along with plenty of water.

You will have the opportunity to work with power tools, but it is not a requirement to join us. There are plenty of things to do at each job that don’t require using a power tool. But, if you want to try your hand at it—and you have permission from your parents—we have experienced carpenters happy to teach you how!
