Dates:
Monday, June 15–Friday, June 19
Who Can Attend:
Students who have completed grades 8–12
Friends are welcome to join us.
What We’ll Be Doing:
This summer, our high school group will travel to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for a week of service, connection, and fun. We’ll be partnering with Service Learning Camps, who will organize thoughtful, meaningful service opportunities for our group.
Similar to last year’s trip, we’ll have a healthy mix of:
Hands-on service work
Group activities and fun experiences
Downtime to rest and spend time together
The goal is to build relationships, grow in awareness, and experience faith through serving alongside one another.
Adult Leaders:
Pastor Kelli and Brian, along with 1–2 additional adult leaders
Cost:
Cost is TBD, with the goal of keeping it under $600.
All meals will be covered, except possibly meals during travel. One of the largest expenses is renting 12-passenger vans. If you have connections that could help reduce this cost, we’d love to hear from you.
Scholarships:
Full and partial scholarships are available as needed.
Group Size:
Minimum: 8 students (required to move forward with the trip)
Maximum: 26 students
Pre-Trip Retreat:
Before we leave, we’ll gather for a partial-day retreat to prepare for the trip, set expectations, and spend time building community. The date will be shared once scheduled.
Flexibility:
This trip is designed to be flexible. If a student is unable to attend the full week, they may sign up for the days they are able to join. Transportation to and from Sioux Falls for partial attendance will be the family’s responsibility.
Registration Deadline:
February 28, 2025
How to Register:
Complete the registration form
Submit a $100 deposit to the church
Pay by cash or check (please include a note)
Or pay online using the provided link (note: the link reflects last year’s form but will still track deposits correctly)
After February 28, families are responsible for their share of the trip cost, even if plans change. Refunds will be issued when possible, but once planning is underway, some costs cannot be recovered.
