Each summer a team from DUMC participates in a work camp. The team has traveled to Appalachia/Kentucky, Maine, and urban Rockford, Illinois. It has long been a dream of the work team to bring the skills that they have learned over the years back to our own community of Daleville, Indiana. During the summer of 2009 that dream became a reality and Daleville United Methodist Church hosted it's first work camp. Workers slept, ate, prayed, and worshiped together at the church in the evenings and spent their days working on building projects throughout the community. Many lives were touched throughout this week and the team is already gearing up for next summer!
