I/We understand that my child must participate in all of the training meetings to best prepare for this experience. I/We commit to gathering and reviewing the information missed should an absence be required. I/We also recognize that my student must participate in personal and team fund–raisers to cover the per person expenses for the trip. If after making a concerted effort, we are short funds, we will work out a special arrangement with the youth ministry office.
