2013 Family Trips:

YouthWorks Family Trips from YouthWorks on Vimeo.



We want your families to serve, learn and grow together, and that’s exactly what our Family Trips are designed for! Research shows that families who serve together tend to grow in faith together too. Research also shows that when kids grow up in families who talk about faith together, they tend to stick with faith into adulthood. Taking a Family Trip this summer with YouthWorks has the potential to impact your families by getting kids and parents both serving and talking together in new ways.

During a YouthWorks Family Trip, you will have the opportunity to engage with the community through service, building relationships and participating in cultural experiences. We’re partnering with Sticky Faith to create resources to be used before, during and after your trip to help parents connect with their kids in conversation during every part of the experience. We’re confident these resources have the potential to make a lasting difference in your families’ faith stories!


Family Trips are only $99 and run 4 days and 3 nights. (Participants under 3 years of age at the time of the trip are free!)

The following is provided as an example of a typical schedule at a YouthWorks Family Site. We know every family is different and so have worked to intentionally build options into the schedule, specifically in the afternoon and evening. Our staff will be prepared to help meet your family's needs.
