YEE HAW!!! We’re heading to Texas this year for our youth trip! On June 10, 2024, we will be embarking on this years Student Life rec trip! This is a transformative experience that all youth should attend.

Currently, the cost to attend will be $500. This includes food, transportation and camp. To offset the camp cost, youth can raise money individually through volunteering for the bread table. We are also planning a youth fund raising event to raise money to pay for the food and transportation, which will lower the camp cost.
