SCHOOL FACTS
Showers
The
showers are located in a locker room in the school. There are 10 stalled
showers in each locker room. In addition, there are 2 separate adult
showers outside of the locker room area.
Program Area
The
program area is in the gym. There is ac, but it still tends to get a
little warm since the temperature is not controlled within the building.
Sleeping
Arrangements
The
campers sleep in classrooms. There are pods (wings) for the guys and
girls with bathrooms in the pods. Overflow classrooms are in the hallways.
WORKSITE INFORMATION
 In
the years before the Civil War, rice and sea island
cotton plantations brought great
wealth to Beaufort County. Bluffton, in that
time, was generally used as a "slave town" for the
wealthy home owners on Hilton Head Island. Since this
time Hilton Head Island has become a major tourist
attraction, but many of the original slave families
still dwell, in poverty, in an around Bluffton.
CHWC is here to reach out to these families and to make
a difference in the lives of those people who have been
looked over and forgotten.
Bluffton is
essentially a rural camp, serving many residents who live down dirt
roads (thus, cars and vans work better in this setting!). In addition
to exterior and interior painting, projects often include building
stairs and ramps, drywall, and other “home improvement” type work.
Your campers will walk away with new skills and a sense of
accomplishment!
The majority of projects are home sites that need a lot
of work. This tends to be a camp where campers learn
new skills...it's much more than painting.
We do work with Boys and Girls Club as well as the
Children's Centers of Bluffton and Hilton Head. These
sites are a combination of child care and work projects.
We do not have any homeless shelters or food banks in
this area.
This is a
rural camp! Buses are VERY DIFFICULT because of dirt
roads and driveways and lack of places for them to turn
around. VANS are very much appreciated!!!! In
addition, some sites are as much as a 45 min. drive from
the school. But it's a very rewarding camp because the
people we serve are truly in need!
