St. Louise ADULT TREK 
September 6-13, 2014 
Sign up now!  
.
St. Louise is excited to be embarking on OUR TENTH YEAR of Adult Trek to Tijuana, Mexico. Trek is a weeklong mission trip where we help a needy family build a home, as well as participating in various cultural and educational activities. It is a great opportunity to serve in our global community while stretching our boundaries and cultural awareness.
.
We will have gatherings prior to the trip in order to prepare for our adventure. We encourage you to participate in these gatherings to help build team spirit and stay informed about trip plans. If you have any questions or would like to sign up, contact Kris Daly at thenwdalys@msn.com or 425-644-7045. Information and forms are online at www.stlouise.org. Watch the bulletin for details of upcoming Trekker gatherings.

Here are some things you should know:
  1. You do not need any prior experience to participate. Only a willingness to serve and openness to trying new things. The minimum age requirement is 18 years old for the Adult Trek and there is no age limit.
    .
  2. The total cost per person is $850 and covers all travel expenses, as well as room and board. It also includes a donation to the Esperanza International Savings Fund that allows families the opportunity to own a home of their own.  
    .
  3. There will be some preparation prior to the trip.  We encourage you to participate in the gatherings in order to build community and stay informed about trip plans.  
    .
  4. While on Trek we will be doing strenuous labor each day. Please consult a physician prior to trek if you have any doubts about participating in the activities while at the work site.
