Salkehatchie Summer Service
     is a  ministry founded by the
United Methodist Church in South Carolina.  Workers & students, come from all different parts of the state. Salkehatchie Camps bring high school and college age youth and adult community leaders together for a week for the purpose of upgrading homes and the living conditions, for those who don’t have the ability or means to improve their homes.
                 The Motto: To keep folks
               WARM,  DRY,   &  SAFE

Salkehatchie Camps are more than just work camps. The youth attending the camps get the opportunity to
see the face of poverty in their communities and, through nightly reflections, understand what it is to do God’s work through service to others. Many of our neighbors in the Carolinas live in homes needing lots of repair and Jesus has called us to love our neighbors.

Salkehatchie homes:  Our homes  need much more than a little paint. These homes need a lot of work. Salkehatchie projects include things such as roof replacement, bathroom replacement, floor joist repairs, installing siding and plumbing. In a weeks time, the youth learn the use of power tools and learn skills in carpentry, plumbing and painting. The adult leaders help to teach the use of the power tools and general construction site safety. Salkehatchie adult volunteers are generally experienced in home repair.
