Open to Everyone!
Ever wonder what it'd be like to go on one of our mission trips to ASP or Detroit? Wonder no longer! We are hoping that both of our trips this year can be more intergenerational, so we are opening up registration to adults - and you don't even need to be a chaperone! We'll have separate adult-only work crews, who will essentially have their own trip as participants and witnesses to the experience, but will share also meals, space, and some activities with the youth and chaperones. Contact Seth ASAP if you are interested for more info on this unique experience.
- Detroit Trip: June 26-July 2
- Appalachia Service Project: July 23-31
