Summer Mission Trips
In addition to the above projects, Senior High Youth (ages 14 and older) have the opportunity to attend a work camp each summer in mid July. During the high school years we hope each student will be able to work in (1) an urban work camp, (2) a rural work camp, and (3) a foreign work camp. Every three years a Mission Trip is scheduled outside the continental United States. Whether providing home repairs, community service, or a combination of both, our goal is for each Mission Trip / Work Camp to be a clear expression of God's love to others.
