Mission
Sea City Work Camp is a housing rehabilitation service project sponsored by the Corpus Christi District of the United Methodist Church. The camp involves over 300 high school youth and adult volunteers who make housing repairs in low-income neighborhoods of Corpus Christi. It is ecumenical and welcomes participants and volunteers from all denominations.

History
Local church youth directors developed the project in 1993 in response to Christ's instructions to love our neighbors, help those in need, and share the good news of Jesus Christ. The founders recognized that repairing the residences of homeowners who have special needs but limited resources was one way to address concern for quality of life and to give families a chance at a new beginning. They also wanted to provide high school youth with a fun-filled summer camp and the opportunity to experience the joy of serving their neighbors, discovering new skills, and growing in self-worth. The experience often changes the lives of youth who participate as they realize the joy that comes from serving others.

Sea City Work Camp is a not-for-profit 501© (3) corporation of the United Methodist Church.
