Your week starts on Sunday when our friendly staff checks you in, hands out t-shirts and breaks you into crews for the week. This day is used to get to know each other and spiritually prepare your students for the intense week ahead.

Monday morning kicks off our workweek. Students eat breakfast together and then break off to go through their morning devotionals and journal. After this quiet time, students gather their materials and lunches and head out to the worksites.

Students return late afternoon and hit the showers to clean up after a full day of work. After some free time, students eat dinner and get ready for an amazing night of worship. Through creative dramas, awesome music, hilarious mixers, and a powerful Christ-centered message, the Next Step worship team will interact on a very personal level with your students.

After worship, students have a chance to break into small groups or individual church groups to talk about their day and the incredible ways God is working on the trip. Squeeze in a little more free time and then it’s off to bed to get rest for another jam-packed day of work and worship.

This is the routine until Friday, when students trade in their tools for a unique and totally awesome free day. Whether it is rafting or hanging out on your own private island, our free days give your students a chance to kick back and have some real fun after a powerful week. Students return for a final evening of worship and spiritually prepare for life back in the real world.

Saturday morning, after a round of hugs and goodbyes, our staff sends you off and you begin the trek back home. It’s a crazy, fun and challenging experience that will no doubt change your students’ lives forever.
