You will be going on a 5 day, 4 night backpack

trip in the Beartooth Mountains. This will stretch

you physically and emotionally. It will not be

easy! Our desire is that through this opportunity

you will be challenged to grow spiritually as you

are away from the normal distractions of life.

The cost for this trip will be determined as we know

how many are going. Your cost will cover your

food, transportation and specialized safety equip-

ment for the trip (GPS and Satellite phone).

You will leave Thursday, August 8 and return Mon-

day, August 12. The group will meet Wednesday

night, August 7, to get the gear packed properly for

the trip.

In order to plan and prepare for this trip, we need

you to sign-up by July 15 and pay a deposit of

$100.

All Students attending will need to fill out the re-

lease form and student covenant attached to this

brochure. Students will also need a copy of a family

insurance card on file with Pastor Jesse. If a stu-

dent has any special medical conditions, these

should be communicated on the medical release

form. Mitch will contact you for further clarifica-

tion of these medical conditions.

If you have any questions, please contact Mitch

Wardell at 697-8170 or Pastor Jesse at 696-5172.

Guidelines Because of the dangers associated with traveling and

the need for cooperation in a large group setting I un-

derstand that I need to be responsible on this trip and

follow these guidelines.

GUIDELINES 1. I understand that I will be expected to keep the

youth leaders informed of my whereabouts at all times

and leaving the group or retreat area without a leader

or leader's permission is dangerous and not permissi-

ble.

2. I understand that I will NOT show any PDA

(public display of affection) with members of the op-

posite sex if I'm not married.

3. I understand the need for separate sleeping arrange-

ments and I will honor this.

4. I understand that I am not allowed to POSSESS or

USE tobacco, alcohol or any other type of illegal

drugs.

5. I understand that I am not allowed to POSSESS or

USE firearms, knives or fireworks on this trip.

CONSEQUENCES Guidelines 1-2 These actions will be confronted once and I will be

spending every waking moment with a youth leader if

they are repeated.

Guidelines 3-5 These actions will result in my being sent home.

TRAVELING ETIQUETTE This trip is a ministry trip and it’s intended to build-

up and encourage all who go. No cruel talk, back-

stabbing or mean teasing will be tolerated.

COMMITMENT I/We understand all of the guidelines and the conse-

quences if they are not followed.
