SALKEHATCHIE SUMMER SERVICE Salkehatchie Summer Service, a program of the South Carolina Conference Board of Global Ministries, consists of a number of work camps for United Methodist Youth in South Carolina. During the week participants physically improve homes of needy families and reach out to these families and one another in friendship. Salkehatchie Summer Service is open to high school and college age youth drawn primarily from the South Carolina United Methodist Conference. Participants must be at least 14 years old by the beginning of the camp they attend. Adult leaders are also needed to offer guidance and support. There is a $200 fee per person. The budget of each camp is determined by the number of participants times the fee. Each volunteer participates fully in the experience of serving, growing, learning and sharing together. Many of our neighbors in South Carolina live in homes needing repair and Jesus has called us to love our neighbor (Luke 10:29-37). South Carolina United Methodist Youth need to experience Christian servanthood. “And He said to all, ‘If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’ ” (Luke 9:23). Forty-one camps and more than 2900 participants have been involved in the past, each camp running Saturday to Saturday from May through July. SSalkehatchie camps depend on local support. There is no way possible to operate a camp without local involvement and contributions as the cost of building materials, meals for the participants, and camp housing are so high. How can you help? Volunteer - Youth willing to work and adults with skills to share are needed. Donate Supplies - Lumber, paint, caulking, plywood, linoleum, paneling, nails, etc. may be brought to individual camps. Financial Support - Cash contributions are needed and appreciated. Registration fees and conference benevolences do not cover all of our costs. Sadly, the Native American camp no longer be held.
