No one profits from this trip.
The trip coordinators, Jeanie and Pat pay the same amount as all participants and work on arrangements as part of their service work.
The fees charged per participant are based on the fees charged by the Spirit Lake Ministry Center ($325 for the week) for food, lodging and materials and to keep the ministry center going.
The actual cost of our trip per participant is approximately $550 each but we raise funds through our stock sales and other donations to cover the rest of the costs (van rentals, gas, supplies, other food and expenses).
