Workcamp 2002

This year, 26 youth and 5 adults from Webster Presbyterian Church took the train to workcamp in New York City over spring break.  We worked with an organization called YSOP, Youth Service Opportunities Project (for some fun you can say it like "Wassup").  The weather was not exactly the best for working in soup kitchens in a city (aka 95 almost every day) but we survived with more memories than we can ever make you understand (like chili mac, Australians, let's read ALL the directions this time, etc.).
