Construction
The longest-running activity at Camp Restore is the complete spectrum of work involved in rebuilding New Orleans family homes, from mucking and gutting to drywalling, flooring and painting. At this point, most homes have been gutted and the work centers on rebuilding, but completely untouched houses are still encountered from time to time. Read More >>
Community Projects
Developed to engage a much wider spectrum of volunteer skills and abilities, community projects are divided into three categories: Human Care, Environmental and Service. Whether it’s helping out at a homeless shelter, planting trees and swamp grass in the wetlands, going on a prayer walk or engaging in one of over 50 project types, volunteers are connected with opportunities to serve others in many different ways.

The Campaign to Restore Trinity Claiborne
In Spring 2010 Camp Restore took on the restoration of Trinity-Claiborne, an abandoned Lutheran Church building in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward that received 12 feet of flooding after a floodwall failed during Hurricane Katrina. In partnership with volunteer groups from around the country and led by the Chicago-Area Mission Partnership (CAMP) team, work continues to Restore Trinity Claiborne and develop a multi-program community center and ministry in partnership with the Lower Ninth Ward community.
