Experience Mission, the organization we are working with, told me that we will have more final details regarding lodging about 2 months before our trip (so in May). But students will be expected to bring their own air mattress (Twin preferred) (We have a few that the church owns and can loan out for the week)

Reduce the Cost of your Mission Trip
I understand that spending $375 on a week is a LOT of money, especially for those of you who have multiple students. But I need you to understand a few things. First and foremost, the actual cost of the trip is $495+ a person. The organization we are working through charges $495+ a person plus you have to consider travel expenses. So we are already discounting the trip significantly from the actual cost *$120pp)
But, if you can help me out and put some skin in the game, then I'll help you out.
All students who assist with one of our fundraisers (Pancake Supper or Dinner and Dessert Auction) have the ability to earn discounts on the cost of their registration. If your student (or parent) worked a shift at the pancake supper, then you will receive a discount code to remove $20 from the first payment.
Your student can earn an additional discount code for up to $30 off the 2nd payment by helping with our Dinner and Dessert Auction on Sunday, April 27th from 5-6:30pm. They can help by selling tickets on Sunday mornings ($10 off, limited spots available), decorating on Sunday after church the day of the event ($10 off), and/or helping during the event ($20 off).” But only a total of $30 off may be earned. Sign up at the link below to volunteer for this fundraiser.

*The discount codes will be emailed to you in a separate email. If you do not receive the discount code, then please contact Todd individually.
Limited Scholarships
As always, we never want money to be the reason your student doesn't attend a trip. We do have a limited number of partial scholarships available to students who are in need. If your student is in need of financial assistance for this trip, please do not hesitate to reach out to Todd. We will work with you to find a payment plan that works for you, or provide assistance as needed! We don't want financial reasons to prevent anyone from experiencing this incredible trip.
