Group Workcamp is a weeklong summer mission trip geared especially for teens. This summer we will be traveling to Mescalero, New Mexico, which is located in southeast New Mexico on the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation. While in Mescalero, we will team up with over 400 other youth and adults to restore and remodel homes for the elderly, disabled, and less fortunate. Besides just the physical work of the Workcamp, we will also have a chance to share our faith with the residents (many of who do not have a relationship with Christ), and build our faith through daily devotions, prayer, and nightly programs with all 400 participants. This trip is open to all students entering 9th Grade through those students who are entering college in the fall of 2009.
The dates for this trip are Saturday, July 18 through Monday, July 27, 2009. We will depart from the church early on the 18th and return mid-day on the 27th. « Mission Trip Location Details »
The cost of the trip is $409 per person and includes all the meals while we are at the Workcamp, lodging, and helps pay for materials used on the work site. Transportation to Mescalero, meals while traveling and any after-trip activity will be an extra cost. We plan to off-set this cost with fundraisers. The amount needed from each student is $250. The first non-refundable $50 payment is due at the time of registration; the rest will be due at a later date. Spaces for this opportunity to serve will fill up quickly so you need to register as soon as possible. All a student must do to register is turn in the $50 registration fee to Brad.
