2015 Grand Traverse Service Trip

For the past three years, a group of IVC students and faculty have traveled up to Kewadin, MI for a week-long service on the Grand Traverse Reservation. The trip is open to any sophomore, junior, or senior student.  Over the past three years, the people on the reservation have become an extended family.  Any interested student stop by the guidance office for more information.

The particulars of the trip are as follows:

When: June 20-29 (We leave EARLY on the 20th)
Where: Kewadin, MI (We will be staying at the Indian Mission Methodist Church grounds)
Cost: $275 - There will be an opportunity to work off part of that cost prior to the trip.
Chaperones: There will be a minimum of 4 adults traveling with the 25 students.

Planned jobs and activities: We usually do not know the exact jobs until we actually get up to the reservation. There are a few jobs that I know we will be doing...building a ramp and deck for a local resident, doing some work at Alden Camp, move/rebuild two storage sheds, and landscaping.

We will  be camping outside so each students does need to bring or share a tent with others. We do have extra tents and air mattresses.
