Harlan, Kentucky
Welcome to the Harlan Forestry Camp,the base for SWAP home repair ministry in Harlan County. Formerly a minimum-security prison, this facility has been made available for the SWAP program’s use by the County in recognition for the work to improve housing conditions for local residents. Volunteers come from the US and Canada to share God’s love in real and tangible ways.Each day the work crews travel to homeowner sites in the valleys below for home repair. The goal is to make homes: Safe! Warm! Dry! So, many projects involve new roofs, repairing flooring, building porches with steps or ramps, and more. A member of our SWAP staff will accompany you to your worksites. The camp can accommodate groups up to 55 in number from spring through fall. In addition a small efficiency apartment plus a guest room are available for couples, or for a family, who wishes to serve during spring or fall months Come join us for a mountain-top experience! |
