WHY WE EXIST
Group Mission Trips is the
Leading Provider of Christian
Youth Mission Trips.
We leverage over 35 years of expertise to guarantee wellplanned, stress-free mission trips for you. Group Mission Trips
are designed to give you an opportunity to spend your time in
ministrynot organizing the details! Our experience in mission
trips helps us refine the process and eliminate the hassles of trip
planning. We take care of the details so you can focus on what
matters most: the spiritual growth of your students before, during, and after the trip.
In 1976, Colorado sustained a catastrophic flood. The
following year, Thom Schultz, founder of Group Publishing,
organized church youth groups from across the country to come
to Colorado and help rebuild the homes and lives of the flood victims. More than 300 teenagers and their youth leaders, just like
you, arrived in Colorado and worked on over 50 repair projects.
As a result, Group Cares (formerly Group Workcamps Foundation) was established as the nonprofit partner of Group Publishing. Since then, over 300,000 mission trip participants have
racked up more than 6 million volunteer hours serving people in
need.
Since that first event, one thing remains true: We strongly
believe in providing opportunities for teenagers to grow closer
to Jesus through serving others either in their own backyard or
halfway across the globe.
Today, Group Mission Trips has grown and oers several unique
multi-day mission trip experiences that take place
in the spring, summer, and fall:
WEEK OF HOPE
Youth build friendships and meaningful connections while
caring for children and the elderly. Through heartfelt experiences
and acts of kindness, youth share the love of Jesus and bring hope
to the lives they touch.
WORKCAMPS
Gear up for these high-energy, home-repair mission trips during
which youth work hard to improve the living situations of people
in need, while also building strong relationships with friends and
youth leaders.
WEEKEND WORKCAMPS
Mobilize more adult volunteers and students than ever before
for a Jesus-centered mission experience. The new Weekend
Workcamps are meaningful, cost-eective opportunities for your
youth ministry, creating the full impact of a classic weeklong
Workcamp in only four days.
LIFETREE ADVENTURES
Whether its your groups first time out of the country or youve
been serving internationally for years, Lifetree Adventures can
match you up with a meaningful experience for your group. From
building a new house for a poor family in Costa Rica, to traveling
on a riverboat in the Amazon and serving native villagers, our
expert mission planners have covered the details so your group
can have a safe, impactful international mission trip.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally existent
in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his
sinless life, in his death on the cross, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father,
and in his personal return. We believe people receive forgiveness of sin and eternal life through a relationship
with Jesus.

REFRAME: A JESUS-CENTERED
MISSION EXPERIENCE
If life wasnt so complicated, so difficult, so full
of pain and disappointment. If choices were more
obvious with less at stake. If friends never let us
down. If churches had no cliques and drama. If
families could stay together, be the rock-solid support your students need. If we werent so human
faith-building week, your group will see Jesus

clearly where they havent seen him before. Theyll
discover how to allow him to be the central
reference point of their lives.
Then, maybe, we could always keep Jesus in focus

and in the right perspective.
And all of this happens on-location as well, as your

teenagers Reframe the lives of others. Showing
them love and compassion. Fixing what is broken.
Bringing hope to an individual or a family whose
perspective may have become clouded by
disappointment or discouragement. Living
out a Jesus-centered life that puts others first.
But for now, all we can do is ask Jesus to help us

Reframe our perspective and re-orient our view
to place him, the Son of God, in the center.
Give your teenagers one incredible week with each

other, with new friends, and with a Savior who has
reframed everything through his work on the cross.
This summer, your youth group can experience a

reframing of their own hearts and minds in an unforgettable way. Were going on-location with Jesus,
taking a new look at not only what he did, but also
where he chose to do it, and what his actions and
words mean for us today. Through this powerful

WITH JESUS AT A GROUP MISSION TRIP?

DURING THEIR TRIP / 4 SPIRITUAL TOUCH-POINTS
Your teenagers will spend time with Jesus like never before. And they wont dread that time, because its woven into
the day through four spiritual touch-points that occur naturally, as if Jesus were simply part of the daywhich he is!
THE MORNING PROGRAMS
CREW DEVOTIONS
These brief, wake-you-up gatherings focus

students on Jesus and set expectations for
the day: that Jesus will be there...that theyll
serve him...and that great things will happen
expectations that Jesus is delighted to meet,
day after day.
During the day, crews take a break at their worksites to

sit, enjoy a quick bottle of cold water, and dig into what
the Bible says about the daily theme.
THE EVENING PROGRAMS

The Evening Program is an interactive worship
experience that is carefully craftedand fieldtestedto ensure that your youth come face
to face with Jesus. Through singing, dramas,
compelling video, and guided activities,
students make connections that prompt deep,
lasting growthgrowth theyll take with them
to live out back home.
The Jesus-centered questions asked during Crew

Devotions do more than just challenge teenagers to
grow in their faith. They also transform serving a
handicapped child or painting a porch from work into
worship.
YOUTH GROUP DEVOTIONS

Each evening, just before lights out, youll meet with
your kids to talk through the day. To debrief what
theyve experienced...what it taught them...and what it
means in their walk with Jesus.
And youll have stories from your own day to share,
too, because on a Group Mission Trip youre an active
participantnot an observer whos busy organizing the
next meal or scrambling for supplies.
Note: Additional post-trip resources also included

TOP 3 REASONS TO DO A YOUTH MISSION TRIP

1
YOUR STUDENTS WILL

EXPERIENCE LIFE-CHANGING
SPIRITUAL GROWTH.
My kidsboth the youth group and my

biological kidshave experienced amazing
spiritual growth on mission trips, says Gregg
McCaslin, a veteran youth minister.
We think were going to do good things for
others, but the entire time God works on us, too.
YOULL SUPER-SIZE
RELATIONAL TIME WITH YOUR
GROUP.
Our mission trips have built-in relational time.

When you let a mission trip organizer handle the
details, youll experience the trip alongside your
kids.
Group Workcamps. I can go through the week

with my kids rather than leading the camp.
YOULL SHIFT TO A
SERVANT-FOCUSED
MINISTRY.
We first went on a mission trip in 2001 because

I had a small, floundering youth ministry, says
Wenker. A youth ministry friend told me, Youve
got to go to a Workcamp. Itll transform your
groupand it did.
Wenker says many of her students grew up in the
church and inherited their faith from parents
and Sunday school teachers. When kids go to a
Workcamp, their faith becomes their own, she
says. Kids get the message that Jesus died for
them, that God loves them, and that they can
share Gods love with the world.
All the organization is done, says youth pastor

Jill Wenker of her mission trip experiences with
GETTING APPROVAL FROM THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER MOST
Youve seen the light! Youre all-in for taking your teenagers on a youth mission trip.
CHURCH LEADERS
It may sound too good to be true, but youth
pastor Jill Wenker had zero problems getting
her pastor and church leaders on board with a Workcamp
mission trip.
I showed them the Workcamps video from Group
Mission Trips, and that won them over, she says. I
stressed that safety is Groups priority, that adult volPAGE 10 / LEARN MORE AT GROUPMISSIONTRIPS.COM
unteers have to pass background checks, and that

experts go from site to site to make sure things are
going well. Thats all it took.
Weve found thats all it usually takes, and were
happy to send you the same video that warmed the
hearts of Jills church leaders.
WHY PARTNER WITH GROUP MISSION TRIPS?

With dozens of organizations lined up to help you organize a youth mission trip, why pick Group Mission Trips? Try these three reasons on for size
NOBODY HAS DONE YOUTH

MISSIONS LONGER.
NOBODY IS BETTER AT KEEPING

FIRST THINGS FIRST.
Weve learned a thing or two during our 38 years

of organizing youth mission trips, and it shows.
Everything is thought out from start to finish,
says associate pastor Adam Just.
Mission trips arent about fixing houses. Or cleaning

alleys. Or hugging orphan kids.
That means from the moment you decide to

pitch the idea of a mission trip to your students
and your church board, Groups experienced staff
is there for you with the tools you need to cast
vision, build enthusiasm, and raise funds. We
will also walk you through our online resources
for planning and registration, and set you up
with trip-focused devotions that will prepare
your teenagers for their experience.
All that happens, but more important is the spiritual

growth of everyone involved. Group Mission Trips goes
the extra mile to encourage that growth with
built-in compelling morning devotions, worksite
devotions, and powerful evening experiences. Plus,
you go home with ready-to-use sessions to debrief
what your group experienced.
NOBODY GIVES YOU MORE FOR

YOUR MONEY.
Ive talked with youth ministers who use cheaper
providers. All they get for their money is someone
lining up places to work. Group provides it all: support,
planning, programming, leadership, volunteers, and
lining up all the details. Its all done, and its done well,
says Gregg McCaslin, a veteran youth minister. Heres
what veteran youth leaders have discovered about getting
all those people excited about a Group Mission Trip...
ADULT VOLUNTEERS
Their big question was about
construction skills, says associate
pastor Adam Just. Once they understand there are
experts to help supervise repairs and that their role
is to be with the kids, theyre OK.
The good news: Well help you reassure your
adult volunteers by providing clear, detailed job
descriptions so they know what to expect...and just
how rewarding their week will be.
STUDENTS
This one is easy: Simply ask.
Share the materials well give you with
your youth. Let them see how theyll change lives,
serve God, and make a difference in the lives of
specific people in specific ways.
You wont believe how fast your students catch the
vision. Were happy to send you the tools youll need
to cast the vision in your church. Call us today.

HOME REPAIR
MISSION TRIPS STARTING AT $399
Workcamps are weeklong mission trips where your youth

group will work hard repairing homes for people in need,
while experiencing the amazing power of community to
accomplish Gods work.
Workcamps are high-energy and action-packed, yet
powerful and life-changing. The camps are BIG: Sometimes
upwards of 450 youth participate, creating lots of energy
and excitement throughout the entire week.
At Workcamps, teenagers come together to serve
individuals and communities while building strong, longlasting relationships with their friends and youth leaders.
In six short days, hundreds of students from youth groups
across the country repair and transform homesand
strengthen and transform their own faith.
Workcamps began in 1977 as a home-repair project in

Loveland, Colorado, in response to the tragic flood of
the Big Thompson River the previous year. In July 1976,
more than 12 inches of rain fell within three hours near
Estes Park, overflowing and flooding the river. Ultimately,
the river became a raging wall of water that destroyed
hundreds of houses, washed away miles of roads, and
killed more than 140 peoplethe worst natural disaster in
Colorado history.

And so the first Workcamps experience was born. Thom

saw a dramatic change in the hearts of youth and adults
serving the floods victims, and realized that the challenge
of helping others in need could ignite and strengthen the
Christian faith of teenagers and adults.
Since then, more than 300,000 people have participated
in a Group Mission Trips experiencelogging more than
6 million volunteer hours. These participants have gained
a new understanding and deeper faith in Jesus by serving
others.
The mission opportunities keep growing, and the same
passion that prompted Thom Schultz to launch the first
Workcamp continues to help teenagers from all different
Christian denominations grow closer to God and take on
the challenge of service by helping people in need.
Turn the page to learn more about the incredible
Workcamp locations where your youth can serve next
summerand give your teenagers a Jesus-centered
summer experience theyll never forget!
WORKCAMPS HOME REPAIR MISSIONS
One way their faith gets built is through daily challenges

to do something they may not have done before: painting a
house, using a chop saw or drill, or doing some other task
that can make students feel a little uncomfortable and
vulnerableexactly where Jesus can speak to them.
After that flood, Thom Schultz, founder of Group

Publishing, asked church youth groups from across the
country to come to Colorado and help rebuild the homes
and lives of the floods victims. More than 300 youth and
their adult leaders responded, working on more than 50
home-repair projects.
TRANSFORM
HOMES & LIVES
Workcamps give youth groups a chance to serve people in need through home repair, basic
construction, and paintingbut students also build strong relationships with their friends and
youth leaders. Sometimes more than 450 teenagers participate in a camp, which fuels the enthusiasm
and excitement throughout the entire week!
FRESH COATS OF PAINT

Fresh paint keeps houses from rotting and
becoming unsafe.
Before
After
Being a single mom with very limited resources, its amazing to have people
I dont know stop their lives, drive hundreds of miles, and come to help me.
Receiving help has been a great feeling, and it has come to me at a point where
my energy (faith, hope, belief) was close to empty. It was truly a gift to meet
the groups that have come together...Truly a gift to be proud of the home I live
in. I love that my kids experienced this, because of the overall accomplishment
that arose from the teamwork. Thank you for every effort, it was felt deeply.

MEET SIGNIFICANT NEEDS

Weve been partnering with Appalachian and Native American communities for more than 30 years and
still have significant work to accomplish. In 2015, bring your teenagers and be a part of this special
service opportunity that will impact families for generations.
APPALACHIAN
An Appalachian Workcamp experience provides your group the opportunity to serve and meet the real
needs of real peoplemany of whom feel neglected and cut off from the rest of the world.
When you think of Appalachia, you may think of coal mining, hills, a strong culture, and West Virginia.
All are true traits but do not completely represent the area known as Appalachia. This region of the
U.S. covers an area from New York to Mississippi and Alabama, and its blessed with abundant natural
resources. However, people in the region have dealt with a long struggle of serious poverty-related issues.
For instance, some areas of Appalachia still do not have a consistent source of electricity or water.
Regardless of the situations
they face, the people are proud
of their history, homes, and
communities. Get to know
these people who are fiercely
loyal and committed to their
communities. Enjoy their deep
cultural connections and rich
historical roots. It will be an
unforgettable experience.

NATIVE AMERICAN
This is the best domestic cross-cultural experience you can find.
One of the best things about taking your youth group on a mission trip is the opportunity for a cross-cultural
experience. And thats one of the benefits of a Workcamp experience on a Native American reservation. It
provides your youth group an amazing cross-cultural experience without ever having to leave the country.
Group Mission Trips has been doing Workcamps on Native American reservations for decades. Our deep
relationships in these communities and with tribal leaders provide your group with an experience that you
will never forget. Its not just about repairing the home of a family. Its not only learning about a new culture
and history. Its not simply how your group will grow in their relationship with Jesus. Its about all of those
thingsin one amazing experience.

Four or five days of service. A lifetime of rewards.
Week of Hope is an affordable summer mission trip
packed with practical acts of love and service. Your
students will build meaningful connections as they
serve people through local ministries and nonprofit
organizations.
Week of Hope meets the needs of all age groups

wherever those needs exist. Projects might include:
Providing meals to the homeless
Tutoring poor or struggling children
Each day students will enjoy meaningful worship and

devotion times, plus opportunities for personal devotions.
Theyll spend time together and connect more deeply with
Jesus. Programs are led by a well-trained staffbut you
and your youth will have the chance to serve by leading
parts of each worship program. (Feel free to bring guitars,
drums, harmonicas, banjos, and great voices!) Along
with the worship times, youth are able to serve other
participants by preparing meals and cleaning the lodging
facility daily.
Turn the page and take a closer look at this years Week
of Hope mission trips. Your group will be immersed in
the experience of being others-directed instead of
self-directed, and challenged to live as Jesus didin
authentic, sacrificial relationships.

WEEK OF HOPE COMMUNITY SERVICE TRIPS
Teenagers will learn Christ-like empathy and compassion

for others as they meet the spiritual, physical, and
emotional needs of disadvantaged children, youth, and
adults. As students serve in the name of Jesus, theyll
develop friendships with the people being served,
with teenagers on other teams, with members of their
own youth group, and, most importantly, with Jesus.
Denominational differences disappear as like-minded
youth work together for a common purpose. Its awesome
to watch!
Your teams acts of kindness will mean the world to the

people you serve. But the impact on your students will go
even deeper. Spiritual growth is a top priority at all of our
camps, and through meaningful worship and devotions,
the lessons learned will take root in the hearts of your
youth.
SERVING A COMMUNITY
At Week of Hope, campers provide helping hands to local nonprofit ministries. Your group may
serve meals to the homeless, work with disabled children, or share stories with a lonely elderly
person. Whatever role your students fill, their service will be felt in the community and will be
a shining example of Jesus love.

Preteen Week of Hope is a great mission experience that your 10- to 12-year-old students will never

responsibilities you have as a leader. Research suggests that by the time kids are 13, their basic value

Over my long ministry career of working with preteens, Ive seen service
projects and mission trips change thousands of young lives. Thats why I
was so excited when the team at Group Mission Trips called and asked me to
help them redesign their preteen experience. Together, I think weve created
something special for your students.

How many adults should we bring?

Adults (age 21 and above) are a critical part of
the experience because they help provide safety,
relationships, spiritual guidance, and discipline.
Please bring a minimum of one adult for every
five youth.
How are crews organized?
A typical crew is a group of five young people
and one adult. Each crew usually includes participants from a variety of churches so that they can
meet new people. If youd rather have your teenagers serve with your own group members, call
us and well gladly accommodate your request.
What about transportation?
You need to provide transportation for your
group to and from your mission trip. During the
week, the vehicles you bring will be used for daily
transportation to and from project sites.
Where do we stay?
Most lodging is in local churches or schools. Accommodations will include areas for groups to
room together by gender, a common eating area,
and a program area.
What happens if the trip I want is full?
All trips are filled on a first-come, first-served
basis, so register early. However, if you register
for a trip thats full, well give you a choice: Join
the waiting list for your first choice, or register
for your second-choice location.
Call us. Were eager to help!
WHATS NEW IN 2015?

focus on you and your groups experience.

NEW! LODGING: We redoubled our efforts to provide safe, clean, and welcoming lodging facilities for every
location.

Week of hope community service
I am bringing a group to a Week of Hope this summer because plugging

teens into missions is such a reward. Seeing them bond with each other
and connect with Jesus all while serving others is an amazing way to get
their feet wet and give them a passion and heart for others.

Wed like to introduce you to Lifetree Adventures

by getting to know you.
Are you a person with a heart to serve and a desire
to make your life count? Someone who wants to
serve internationally, but needs to know that your
efforts will make an impact long after you leave?
Do you want to grow in your ability to serve Jesus
in other cultures and learn to pass that skill on to
others?
Some mission efforts focus on helping the poor;

others concentrate on the personal spiritual growth
that occurs in the life of a participant. At Lifetree
Adventures, our focus is on both. Weve partnered
with tenured ministries that are rooted in the
countries we serve. As youre reading this, they are
passionately serving and loving their neighbors,
working to meet physical and spiritual needs in
Jesus name. When we arrive, we come alongside
their efforts. Because of these trusted, established
partnerships, you can know that your week of
service is truly helpful.
Our teamboth local and abroadhas carefully

entire experience in a way that helps you grow in
New this year, weve created five mission events

that are exclusively Youth Group Only. Designed
by Group Mission Trips, these trips will have a
similar heartbeat and programming of a Workcamp
or Week of Hope, but will have the international
expertise of Lifetree Adventures. We are launching
these weeks with the youth leader in mind: We take
care of all the details of the trip so you can have an
incredible time of ministry and connection with
your students. Look for the label Youth Group
Only to find out more about these options. As
always, any of the other Lifetree Adventures trips
are for all ages, from 7 to 97 and beyond. Families,
youth groups, individuals, college studentsall are
welcome.
Weve taken thousands of people on mission trips
abroad, and weve seen Jesus do amazing things
both in and through the goers who take that extra
step of faith to go beyond their own borders. We
look forward to locking arms with you, your group,
and the Savior for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

FEATURED LOCATION
PUERTO RICO
Puerto Rico has been a Commonwealth of the United

States since 1898, and many people travel there every
year to enjoy all the beauty the island has to offer. What
most people dont know is that Puerto Rico is in a dire
economic state. Political and economic factors have led
many of the most educated Puerto Rican citizens to
head to the United States for more opportunities and
better jobs. Their poverty rate is almost double that of
Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States. The
elderly and uneducated are left to try and make a life
with little opportunities.
Lifetree Adventures has created a unique opportunity to bring hope
to the island. Weve rallied the local churches in Puerto Rico to reach
out to their neighbors. Weve locked arms with the local municipal
offices, to help those who need it most. Weve mobilized thousands
of people just like you, to travel there and make a difference. Your
team will see life and poverty in another culture, and their hearts
will be moved as they share the love of Jesus with the warm Puerto
Rican people. Each night, well share in God Sightings as a group to
hear about what God is doing in and through your team and others.
Also, nightly programming will include games and scheduled devotional times for you and your group to go
deeper with Jesus.
We know the impact that international service has on the people that go. Given our strong partnerships
there, you can know that the love and work you share in Puerto Rico will continue long after you leave. Also,
because Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, passports are not needed to travel there, and there are no immunization requirements for your group. Check out the dates and availability we have and let us know how we can
help prepare you for an amazing week of service in beautiful Puerto Rico.

A Life-Changing Missions Experience
I had so much fun in India! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all six of my family members to be able to do
together. Lifetree Adventures made each day so great! They picked us up at the airport and had meals and transportation and hotels all pre-arranged so we didnt have to worry about anything. There were about 28 people on
our team, and they were all so nice to us. We divided up into teams to minister to different slums each day.
The kids we met in the slums were amazing. They were so poor, but so happy. They loved having us visit them. And
I loved holding the skinny, malnourished babies and praying over them as they slept in my arms. I loved playing
games with the older kids and teaching them English or just coloring with them in the Lifetree Adventure coloring
books. They were so excited about the simple coloring book and crayons
we passed out.
I was really impressed by the local pastors who reach out to the people in
the slums day after day meeting practical needs, like passing out blankets and sweaters, and also teaching them about Jesus. We visited one
slum where no one had accepted Christ yet and the people were wild and
disrespectful, but people in the other slums who the local pastors had
been working with were kind, respectful, and eager to learn more. It was
amazing to see the difference.
I had such an amazing time with Lifetree Adventures getting to know
the other volunteers in our group, ministering to the precious kids,
and seeing so many beautiful places. I wish I could go back next year
and say hello to all the children there. They truly touched my heart.
After being in India, I came home with a whole new appreciation
for my life and a new sensitivity to the needs of others around me and
around the world. I also went home with a stronger relationship with not
only my family, but with the Lord.
Sofie Rovenstein, 14 years old, India 2013
WHAT TO KNOW
How do I book my mission trip with Lifetree Adventures?
How strenuous are the activities?
Just call any one of our expert mission trip advisors at

800-747-2157.
While some adventures are more physically strenuous

than others, most Lifetree Adventures trips will include at
least four 8-hour service days in hot and humid environments. Team members should feel comfortable spending
multiple days working outdoors and standing most of that
time. Temperatures may be hot and humid, so youll want
to wear cool clothing and a hat, and drink plenty of water.
Service projects consist primarily of construction work,
but some trips include ways to help that arent as physically strenuous. Youll have the chance to work at the level
of physical exertion with which youre comfortable.
Is airfare from North America included in the

Lifetree Adventures price?
No, the Lifetree Adventures price does NOT include
airfare from North America. In-country transportation is
provided in the trip price. In Peru, our price includes the
airfare from Lima to Pucallpa. In Cuba, our price includes
charter flight airfare from Miami to Havana.
What travel documentation do I need?
All U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter a foreign
country and return to the United States. It must be valid
six months beyond your intended stay and have 1-2 blank
pages remaining. A passport is not required for trips to
Puerto Rico and Alaska.
Visas are not required for most trips. For full information,
please ask your mission trip planner at time of booking.
Our trips are family-friendly, so, in most cases, kids can

serve along with adults. Contact Robin for more specific
age requirements by location.
Whats your policy on deposits, payments,
and cancellations?
To reserve space on a trip, a nonrefundable $100 deposit
is due when you register. Final payment is due 60 days
before departure. Please visit our website for complete
details of our cancellation policy.
Are all meals included in the cost?
Most meals are covered as part of your registration. Please
see the detailed itinerary of your Lifetree Adventures trip
for any exceptions.
Most meals will be provided by our ministry partners,

who have been carefully trained to prepare safe and nutritious meals for our teams.
Are the trips safe?
The safety of your group is a top priority for us, as were
sure it is for you. In all the areas we serve, we take extra
precautions to make sure your group is as safe as they can
possibly be. Guided by our local, experienced ministry
staff partners, we avoid situations that are inherently
dangerous. Were also proactive by choosing lodging facilities and transportation that are safe and reliable. If you
have specific safety-related questions about a particular
location, your mission trip planner will be glad to talk
with you about those specifics.
Are tips included in the cost?
Lifetree Adventures covers gratuities for all included
meals and activities, such as tips for porters, housekeepers, drivers, activity providers, local experts, and dining
room staff.
