NEW MEXICO MISSION TRIP (MESCALERO)
Students who will be in high school
June 29-July 5
Students will spend a week serving a group of Native American people known as the Mescalero Apache. Like many Native American people, the Mescalero hold a deep respect for their elders—and consider taking good care of the elderly to be of utmost importance. For that reason, we will be spending time with and helping provide repairs that will provide health and safety for the elderly residents — projects like building porches, sturdy steps, wheelchair ramps, and painting to protect siding. In addition, we’ll have times to worship and connect along with other youth groups.
DRY BONES MISSION TRIP (DENVER)
Upper high school
July 27-August 3
Incoming 11th graders through high school graduates are invited to spend time with homeless young people on the streets of Denver. We will spend the first half of our trip on an Elevations experience, where we will camp at a state park near Winterpark, CO, and hike during the day - all to prepare us for our time in the city. The second half of the trip will be spent in downtown Denver with the young homeless population there, as we serve alongside Dry Bones staff.
