Daily Schedule

A typical day includes working on a construction site team. Your team will spend the day accomplishing daily chores, having devotions, meals, and an evening worship service (that consists of singing, praying and de-briefing the day).

During the week your group will have the opportunity to participate in worship with local church and prepare for youth outreach programs, such as after school programs in the spring/fall or during the summer a VBS.

Groups

Groups typically consist of high school aged and adult participants with an adult-to-youth ratio of 1 to 4.   Youth participants are recommended to be mature to their age and at least 14 years of age.  A measure of spiritual maturity is beneficial.  Children of participating adults and sponsors are welcome regardless of age.   Please be advised that childcare is not provided.  We strongly encourage participation by an entire family!

Identification

A current U.S. state driver's license or current U.S. state photo ID is needed.  Non-U.S. citizen participants are expected to comply with all U.S. Immigration requirements.
