Cost: $200 - Due by the time we leave. I’m working on enabling online payments later this week. If you need to break this up into two payments, let me know, and as long as the first is in before we leave, we will be ok.

Departure and Return

We will leave from the church (meet at the Student Center) Monday, July 22 at 11am. We will have Blimpie’s for lunch as we travel.

We will head back to the church from Whisper Mountain after lunch Friday, July 26 around 1:30pm. We will send out a text when we are an hour or so away.

Registration

You will need to register in 2 places, but one is very, very easy.

You have to register online with Whisper Mountain’s site:

The second registration is with us, and this is so you can pay online or in person and we can track it easily. If you have multiple in your household going, you can register and pay for them all at one time here:
