Trip Details
What we will be doing: This will be similar to a kids Centrifuge camp but aimed at middle school aged students. It is put on by an organization called YM 360. This is the same organization through which we took our mission trip to Guatemala last year and where we get our Sunday School Youth Curriculum. Russell has attended a Camp Generate before. We will be staying in the dorms of the college, attending worship rallies, playing games, eating in the buffet-style college cafeteria, and having small groups. There will be other churches from around the country there, too!
Transportation: We will be taking the church minibuses (4-hour drive)
Chaperone Needs: We would like to take at least 5 adults on this trip. Chaperones go for free. If you would like to go, please contact Russell ASAP as there are a limited number of spots.
Scholarships: There are partial scholarships available. Please contact Russell if you are interested.
