How are trips paid for?
Each mission trip attendee will have an individual fundraising goal (trip cost) and will be given a link to share for donations. Parents and students can also donate to their own trip if desired. It’s important to note that all donated funds will go to the overall trip and do not “belong” to an individual person.
When is payment due?
Approximately 50% of the trip is due by April 1, 2026, and the trip must be fully funded by May 15, 2026.
How do we fundraise?
Individuals are encouraged to share the opportunity and their giving link with friends and family. This is best done by personal contact but can also be shared on social media or via a support letter.
How do we see progress on fundraising goals?
Trip attendees can log in to their profile to see donations and remaining trip amounts due.
Does the Junior Intern mission trip include a discount for attending Youth Camp?
We understand that families are navigating the rising costs in nearly every area right now. As a camp, we are managing those same realities. The expenses of hosting camp have increased significantly, especially in the years since 2020. Our goal is to price camp and internship as responsibly as possible while still providing a safe, high-quality, and spiritually impactful experience for every person.
We truly wish we could offer this experience at a lower cost, but that isn’t possible at this time. We encourage families to prayerfully trust God’s provision as students take this step of faith. Many families invite friends and extended family to partner with them financially, and scholarship opportunities for summer camp may also be available through your local Victory Life campus.
We are grateful for your understanding and partnership as we invest in the next generation together.
General Questions
When do applications close?
Applications will remain open until April 15 or until spots fill up, whichever comes first.
How are Interns selected?
Applying does not guarantee a place on the Mission Trip. Interns are not primarily considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications are prayerfully reviewed considering individual maturity, desire for discipleship, & leadership’s discernment of God’s guidance. There are limited spots available.
What is the next step once I apply?
Our team will prayerfully review applications and reach out with any next steps, such as an interview, training, and registration. Contact connor.harrison@vl.church with any questions.
What are the trip dates?
The Junior Intern trip is May 25 through June 12, which includes a home visit on June 5-7. The Resident Intern trip is May 25 through June 26, which includes home visits on June 5-7, June 12-14, and June 19-21. Each trip attendee’s family will be responsible for their own transportation to and from the mission location at Camp Victory.
Besides fundraising, how should we prepare for the trip?
Interns are encouraged to spend time praying and preparing their hearts to be open to engaging in the discipleship & ministry opportunities. A reading assignment will be due before the mission trip. A packing list can be found HERE.
Will interns have access to phones during the trip?
No. Phones will be checked in with staff and will be returned on weekends before interns go home. While interns may have access to their phones on weekends, they are strongly encouraged to abstain from social media throughout the entire duration of the program to help remain focused on their spiritual growth and ministry.
I have another question...
