July 2-7, 2017– COLORADO MISSION TRIP: For all youth completing 6th-12th grade in May 2017). Open to Jr. High and High School students at Lutheran Valley Retreat Center in Woodland Park, CO. The cost of the trip will be around $325-350 a person for stay at the retreat center, transportation, meals, work projects and a day trip event.
The tentative plan is to leave the morning of July 1 and stay in the Colorado Springs or Denver area and have a little free time on the 2^nd then check in at LVR on the 2^nd. Our time at LVR would go through breakfast on the 7^th and we would have the opportunity to do an event together that afternoon and stay the night at a local hotel. On the 8^th we will pack up in the morning and drive home. Without stops, the drive straight to LVR is approximately 11 hours while the drive to Denver is just under 10 hours. More details and plans for the trip will come as we get a clearer picture how many youth are attending.

I need to begin getting a verbal YES/NO if you would like to go. If you plan to attend, a non-refundable deposit to hold your spot of $50 is due by January 22, 2017.
