In 2008, Youth from First Clemson travel to Catadupa Jamaica where they
spent the week digging and building outhouses. The youth were allowed one
day of R & R in Montego Bay, Jamaica, before returning home. Their work
there was rewarding and life changing. One youth, Mary Hardin, gave her life
to Christ and was Baptized in the local spring. The photo gallery below
provides a record of their work.
