GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN -- PLYMOUTH HEIGHTS

Dates: July 12 - 19, 2008 (Saturday - Saturday)
Cost: $295 USD / $350 CAD
This is a NON-SMOKING site.

General Description: Grand Rapids has many opportunities for hands-on service work. We receive many requests for painting and maintenance of homes of lower-income individuals. Also, we team up with local mission agencies in doing various projects with them, such as neighborhood cleanup, sorting clothes and food, VBS, and working at soup kitchens.

Facilities: Plymouth Heights CRC -- air-conditioned gym for recreation

Work Sites: Painting, construction, yard maintenance etc for needy families

Day Away: To be determined, but will be a full day of fun in beautiful West Michigan

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 leaders) 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 Youth Unlimited to discuss options and additional charges.

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