Moab is an extremely rugged region of the United States. Its bizarre landscape, near perfect weather, and numerous outdoor activities, makes for a teen’s adventure dream come true. This is a church oriented excursion that includes rafting, repelling, hiking, and biking; as well as two great Bible studies done daily in what was once John Wayne’s personal living room.
Organized by Morning Star Ministry, the week long adventure is for teenage boys, 7th grade and up to seniors. It is scheduled for the last week in May 2012.
It will cost approximately $1,200 to take your son on this trip. We ask a $400 registration fee from each applicant utilizing their personal money. This can be paid in two payments, the initial fee will be $250 is due by Jan 15th, and the remaining balance of $150 is due by March 1st.
We then ask participants to raise an additional $400 via a letter writing campaign, which is similar to Teen Missions. Material for this campaign will be provided.
Finally, all participants are asked to come to our fundraisers to help us offset the total cost of this trip. For more information e-mail Jack Schryer, Vince Marino, at msm_us@aol.com.
