    Summer 2021 Youth Mission Trip Registration

    * Total trip cost is $475 per youth member (price does not include spending money or snack money, and 3 fast food meals and one meal in the amusement park)
    * $100 non-refundable deposit is due by April 30.
    * Remaining balance of $375 must be paid by June 4 (full payment is accepted at sign up; weekly or multiple payments can be made up to the due date as well).
    * Payment can be made using the Realm payment option under this form OR you can turn in your money to Mrs. Nancy, drop the money in the offering plate (mark the memo line youth mission trip), or drop it off at the church office.
    * ​The cost of the trip includes transportation expenses, our room and board, as well as all meals for the week - except a few noted below.
    * The cost also includes a Friday Fun Day at Carowinds Amusement Park in Charlotte, NC and a Friday night stay in a hotel. 

    We will leave the in morning of Sunday, July 4 from the fellowship hall parking lot. We will stop along the way for lunch (you will need money for this meal). After check-in and unloading at the mission trip site, we will  get supper (you will need money for this meal).
    Many of the kids like to buy snacks at the gas station/rest room breaks. Your child will need additional money for this. They can keep their own money or I will hold it for them, either way is fine. 

    During the week the meals are furnished while we are working (breakfast, lunch and dinner). I will buy dinner for the entire group Thursday night as a special reward for all their hard work for the week. 

    Friday morning we will leave the mission site and travel to Charlotte, NC to spend the day at Carowinds park. It is my understanding the ticket price I have looked into for our group will include their admission AND a meal while at the park. They will need money for supper this night as well in the park. If I am able to establish a 2-meal admission ticket, I will update you to this information later.

    Friday we will stay at the park until closing, then travel a short distance to our hotel. Likely, we will stay in the Rock Hill, SC area for the night.

    Saturday morning we will eat breakfast at the hotel, then leave and head home. There will be one stop on the way home for lunch that your child will need money for, as well as any money for snacks, etc. at our gas/rest rooms breaks.

    While we are at the mission site, they offer snacks and drinks for sale in the evenings as well as souvenir shirts and stickers and other items. Your child will want some money for that. Shirts are usually $20-30. Last year, I was given an opportunity to purchase one version of the summer mission shirt prior to the trip. 

    Your child will need clothes that can get dirty, could come home covered in paint, may get ripped, or you are willing to throw away. We work hard all week and sometimes our clothes don't make it. This is not always the case, but I have a special set of old t-shirts, shorts, shoes, etc that I use just for mission trip week. They WILL get dirty and messed up! They will need a change of clothes for every day after work to attend supper and worship. 

    A typical mission site workday: wake and eat breakfast, fill our water coolers, load any needed tools for the day and fix our sandwiches for lunch. We then head to the site (about) 9 AM. We eat onsite for lunch and work until (about) 4 PM Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday. Each night after supper we join everyone for worship (about) 8 PM. Thursday, we work until noon and get to take the afternoon off to find something fun to do. Thursday night we rejoin everyone at the mission site for a very special closing worship service. Thursday night we pack and then Friday morning clean our sleeping quarters and check out.

    Feel free to call or text or ask any questions if I have not answered them here. This is a lot of detail, but I wanted to share as much info as I can to help your family make a decision to send your youth member with us on this year's mission trip.

    ​It's hard work, but we ALWAYS come back with the BEST stories and wonderful new friendships. There is NO other week quite like the experience of mission trip week.
