 Paying for Your Trip
Trip costs vary depending on transportation, length of time and type of program fees. Most week long driving trips for 10-12 students cost about $2700 or $270+/student. This covers transportation, site fees, meals and a variety of other program costs. Trip participant fees are only $170 for driving trips and $265 for flying trips.
The participant fees, group fundraising, and donations from past trips cover most of the remaining costs. The College’s sponsoring organizations Campus Ministry and Leadership Development Service and Engagement fund the remaining amounts and provide staff support.
The trip fee is due at Orientation. If this causes great hardship, you may meet with a TRIPS staff member to arrange a payment plan.
Fundraising can also be “fun” –raising if everyone participates! The top trip fundraiser for individual groups has been writing letters to friends and family requesting donations to TRIPS. Each group will be asked to raise a minimum of $500.
