Work Camp at the White Oak Center

In the 1990s, requests for assistance increased in the area around White Oak, Tennessee, because this community has challenges similar to those in the Frakes community. Teams working on homes in the area were at a disadvantage having to travel seventeen miles back to the Settlement for food and lodging.

The White Oak Center opened in the summer of 2001, and since then, during the summer months, many teams have been based out of this facility. Up to 49 people can be housed and fed. Work teams are scheduled through the Work Camp Office at Henderson Settlement, and a project manager is on site at White Oak to assist the teams during working hours.

Below is a list of links to documents and information that you'll need to be ready for your visit to the White Oak Center. We ask that you start with the checklist, and that will guide you through the steps that you need to take to prepare for and organize your trip.

The 2009 cost per person for work camp is as follows:

Spring/Fall - $180

Summer - $200
