MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN SERVE

Dates: July 11 - 18, 2009 (Saturday – Saturday)
Cost: $310 USD / $325 CAD
This is a NON-SMOKING site.

General Description:  Muskegon is a medium-sized town (population of around 100,000). Calvin Christian Reformed Church is located about one mile from Lake Michigan. We have many characteristics of a large city combined with the feel of a smaller city.

Facilities: You will be staying at Calvin Christian Reformed Church.

Work Sites: Work will be largely with community based organizations such as Love INC. & Community Encompass, a local transitional housing agency.  You may be doing light work such as building wheel chair ramps, stocking food pantries, and maintenance work on homes.

Day Away: Grand Haven, Michigan (beach, shopping, etc...)

Transportation: Registration fees do NOT include transportation to and from the sites. Each group of five or more must provide vehicle(s) and adult driver(s), typically small group leader(s), to transport an equal number of participants during the duration of the mission experience regardless of whether you fly or drive to the site. The vehicles you bring will be used to transport small groups to the work site each day so 12-passenger vans or mini-vans are preferred. Cars do not facilitate the transportation of an entire small group in one vehicle, so please do not bring them. If you wish to bring a bus, please check with the Host Team to see if this is acceptable before you make arrangements. If your group is unable to provide van transportation, please have a youth leader call YU to discuss options and additional charges.

For your decision making purposes, the closest airport is Muskegon, Michigan. Please DO NOT book airfare until you have received written confirmation from Youth Unlimited that you have been placed at this site.
