firsthand to these transforming experiences from our 2008 trip
|
Purpose
The annual Mexico
trip is an intergenerational
trip consisting of youth from ninth grade and up. The trip involves
three key
components – building houses in a
depressed
area of Tijuana,
building relationships with one another, and growing in the Christian
faith.
|
|
Dates
This trip is an
opportunity to serve those less
fortunate in the Tijuana
area. All participants are expected to take part in respecting the
customs and
culture of the peoples of Mexico
and respecting their fellow travelers. The dates of the trip are all
inclusive
and all travelers are expected to remain with the group throughout the
trip,
returning to participate in the worship service on August 1.

ninth grade and up may attend

Service
Hours
20 hours of community
service will be offered to
students who attend the trip. If you have a particular need to earn
more
service hours please talk to Pastor Henry Hansen or Youth Director
Starla
Ackley about additional responsibilities you can take on before and
during the
trip. The site leaders and Mexico
leadership team will evaluate students at the end of the trip to
determine how
many service hours will be awarded based on the student’s efforts during the
trip. These hours can be acquired through
helping at the camp site and through participation on the work site.
Students
who desire to earn service hours should complete a Service Hour
Application
Form prior to the trip.
