WILL MY GROUP MEMBERS BE MIXED WITH OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE AT THE WORKSITES? Yes, this is one of the beautiful aspects of the HEART Workcamp.  New relationships and friendships are formed with other people from around the country. Everyone is divided into teams most teams consist of six teens and one adult each team is assigned to work at a site.  There is free time each afternoon and evening for the young people to join their own group members. For youth leaders that do not want their teens mixed with campers from other parishes on a work team, the option is available to request a work team consisting only of their youth group members. CHWC will also accommodate groups that request their young people be placed at a work site with two adults.   The implications of a youth group requesting two adults per worksite are as follows. Parish groups………   May have to stay in work teams with members of their own youth group. May need to combine 2 work teams at a work site, with members all from the same youth group. Will have to be aware the number of members on a work team may vary (teams could vary from 5-14) Will be encouraged to bring additional adults.  The more adults, the more opportunities the camp manager will have to mix up work teams consisting of different youth group members. Will absolutely have to adhere to the CHWC policy of one adult per five teens. Will not have the opportunity for adults to be an associate staff member. CHWC will do its best to provide (but cannot guarantee) youth groups the opportunity to experience the beauty of interacting with other young people from different parishes at their work sites.  This could be accomplished by having a “super team” which would consist of 2 work teams combined at one work site.  A “super team” would be a combination of one work team (consisting of the same youth group and an adult) assigned to the same work project with another work team (consisting of members from different youth groups with an adult).   Back to F.A.Q's
