2023 Youth Mission Trip Details
June 23-July 2, 2023 | Idaho
Youth Mission Trips are mountain-top, high-energy, week-long experiences filled with service-learning, faith formation, group building, outdoor adventure, worship, fellowship and tons of fun activities!
In the summer of 2023, we’ll travel to Idaho to serve with Idaho Servant Adventures which seeks to transform lives, homes, and communities by supporting the under-served people, organizations, and communities of northern Idaho.
Shoshone Mountain Retreat, an ELCA camp, located in the beautiful Bitterroot Mountains of northern Idaho at the juncture of two rivers, is the primary location for our week together and will offer our group several wilderness adventure opportunities like mountain hikes, whitewater rafting, horseback trail rides, rock climbing, river inner-tubing, and much more, plus home-cooked meals, dormitory lodging, and evening worship around the campfire!
Our service projects will consist of home repair and care, yard work, painting, wood splitting, and hosting day camps for area children. We’ll also get a chance to stop and experience the wonder of Yellowstone National Park on our way to Idaho. Come experience a life-changing week in the mountains this summer!
COSTS:
Regular: $725 (through Jan. 15)
Late: $775 (Jan. 16-March 1)
($150 non-refundable deposit due at time of registration)
Fees include transportation, lodging, most meals, activities, t-shirts, and more! A limited number of scholarships are available. A multi-child discount is available.
