Summer Trips

SM2 is currently planning four Summer trips!
We have Venture planned for May, and SERVE: Chattanooga in June, followed by
RYM and  SERVE: NYC both in July.

Registration for Summer Trips is open through Wednesday, January 31. If you register online have your CC ready for payment. If you wish to pay with a check, please visit the Student Ministry office Monday – Friday between 8:30AM-5PM to register and pay.
Registration for trips is on a first come first serve basis. Once the max number of spots for a given trip has been reached, registration will close. You will be able to add your name to a waitlist and if a spot comes available and/or we are able to add additional spots we will open registration to you!
We never want the cost of a trip to be prohibitive to a students’ participation. Scholarship is available for each of our summer trips. Download, complete & turn in this form by Wednesday, January 31 to Bridget LeJeune. Please note that scholarship cannot be used for deposits. Deposit must be paid before being considered for scholarship.

Serve: Chattanooga | Completed 6th-8th Grade Students

Location: Chattanooga, TN
Dates: June 2-7
Cost: $350 per person

We are partnering with three Signal Pres Community Ministries: Hope for the Inner City, Widow’s Harvest and Project 52. Both have done tremendous work in the community for many years. Widow’s Harvest is a servant-oriented ministry seeking to worship God by responding to the needs of widows in distress. In addition, they have a remarkable prayer ministry that is led by the widows they serve. Project 52 provides spiritual, emotional, and physical comfort to individuals and families who are socioeconomically challenged due to financial crisis, natural disaster, physical disabilities, and emotional distress. HFTIC is an economic empowerment ministry that provides resources and a Christ-centered community for low-income individuals in East Chattanooga to bring glory to Christ and provide stability for those without. Our work will be mostly labor intensive, and projects will include (but are not limited to) yard work, home repair, roofing and painting.

RYM Camp | Rising 9th-12th Grade Students

Location: Panama City Beach, FL
Dates: July 1 – 5  
Cost: $650 per person

Reformed Youth Ministry (RYM) cares deeply about students and wants them to know the love of Jesus for them and the power of His gospel. RYM serves the local church through its summer conferences by providing space where groups can have fun together, be challenged and encouraged by the word of God in worship and grow together both with one another and with students from all over the country. Each day you will experience teaching, fellowship + activities and recreation. Students at RYM are exposed to God’s word in devotionals, small groups, elective classes, and large group preaching with leaders who help them apply the Word of God to their hearts.

Serve: New York | Completed 9th – 12th Grade Students

Location: New York City  
Dates: July 12-21
Cost: $650 per person

Serve: NYC will be a 10-day trip to serve in one of the Big Apple’s burrows, The South Bronx. While there we will partner with A House on Beekman by helping lead their children’s summer school classes. A House on Beekman sees about 50 children every week and is partnering with churches to send teams to help lead the curriculum and love the kids. That’s where we come into play! We will build and execute curriculum so that the students have a nurturing environment to learn and grow. Space is limited!
