General Details:

Trips are led by volunteers. All communication will be with the trip leader.
The trip will cost $65 to cover food, lodging, and equipment costs. We have scholarships available if this is keeping you from being able to serve.
We are staying at a local church building, please bring your own bedding including an air mattress/cot. A shower is available – don’t forget your toiletries/a towel.
For construction trips: No open toed shoes, plan to wear long pants & gloves (We are in the Swannanoa area, check weather before the trip). Tools will be provided but if you have a hammer, tape, impact driver, etc. feel free to bring with you – mark your tools well!
