Get ready for Summer 2012!
Thank you for your interest in our summer trips! All of our trips are meant to help teens grow in their relationship with Christ and give them an opportunity to serve those in need. Below you will find a summary of each of the major trips we are taking. Please read over all the descriptions, view our promotional videos, and visit the websites for each of the trips. You can encourage your teens to do the same. I promise all of our trips are awesome and worth going on… the difficult part is going to be picking which one(s) to go on!
Like any of our events, please do not let money be an issue. If your teen wants to go on a trip but money is a concern please just talk to me. We can work something out.
