deposit

To secure your spot on Summer Mission, you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of $300 within 14 days of being accepted. This deposit counts toward your total goal of $4400. There are two ways to submit your deposit. 

1. Pay the deposit online by credit or debit card at smapp.cru.org, you will log in with the same information you used to log in to fill out an application. Once on this page you'll see a "Your Progress" box and at the bottom of that box there is a "Make a Trip Payment (Participants Only)" link, click that and then you are all set. 

**Note** If you have not received an email from summermissions@cru.org with your Designation #, you will not see the "Make a Trip Payment (Participants Only)" button. In this case, hold off on paying your deposit until you receive that email.

2. Send a check or money order. Send a $300 check or money order made out to “Cru”  with a note that says “Deposit for (your name)” to the following address:

Sean Riley     ○     509 S Fancher St.    ○     Mount Pleasant, MI 48858

**DO NOT SEND CASH IN THE MAIL. CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS ONLY**

dates

The dates of our Summer Mission are May 21 - August 1, 2024.

All students are expected to arrive on May 21st (with the exception of quarter students) and to stay for the entirety of the summer. If you are a quarter student, our desire is that you would arrive in OC as soon as possible after you finish your final exams. If you need to arrive late, leave early or leave at some point during the summer (for a wedding, graduation, etc.) please fill out the leave request form on this website before Summer Mission begins! 

As much as possible, we want everyone to remain in OC for the entire Summer Mission. We do this to preserve the rhythms of the summer, community experience, and to ensure you get the most out of the summer that you possibly can! 

Driving: You will experience toll roads, so have some cash (small bills and change) handy. Most open road tolling devices (eg. iPass, E-Zpass, etc.) are also accepted. It is illegal to talk on your cell phone or even hold it while driving in New Jersey. Use a hands-free device when talking on your phone. 

The address of our Sumer Mission housing is: 1137 Central Avenue, Ocean City, NJ, so type that into your GPS and we'll be there to greet you when you arrive! 

Flying: Fly into either Atlantic City (ACY) or Philadelphia (PHL). If you do not fly into ACY or PHL we cannot guarantee we will be able to pick you up from the airport, so make sure you double check before you book tickets!

As soon as you know your flight information, let us know by filling out this form!  Within a few days of your arrival we will get in touch with you to let you know who is coming to pick you up at the airport and where to meet them. 

For quarter students arriving after May 21st, please fill out this form as well and we will be in touch.

The OC GroupMe is a good way to coordinate travel plans with other students who are coming. If you want to bring a car, there will most likely be others interested in traveling out with you and splitting the expenses. 

**The cost of your transportation is reimbursable if your raise over $4300 but you must save the receipts for all of your costs (gas, tolls, plane tickets, baggage fees, etc.) For example, if your flight costs $300 and you raise $4,595, you can be reimbursed the cost of your plane ticket out of the extra you have raised.**
