Care-A-Vaners is a California-Nevada United Methodist Conference RV mission team that usually travels within our Conference to work on Methodist Churches and Church properties. We usually work for one week from 8am until 5pm Monday through Friday. We often stay on the property where we are working, so need to be self contained. We bring our own tools, but the churches provide the materials. We cook our own meals, even though some churches do provide snacks and/or a pot luck meal. For more information, contact CareaVaners[at]campbellunited[dot]org
