How many chaperons are requested

Youth groups must have one adult volunteer, 21 years or older, for every five students. If you are bringing both guys and girls, you need volunteers of each gender. It is desirable but not necessary for the adult volunteer to have home repair experience.

What about meals?

impactRichmond provides all of your meals from dinner the night you arrive to breakfast the morning you depart. Morning and evening meals are served cafeteria-style at the lodging facility. Lunch is provided for each crew to eat at the worksite.

How will we get to the worksite?

You will need to provide transportation for groups of about 7 to and from the worksites during the week. Due to logistical issues, we recommend the use of vans. impactRichmond makes all attempts for the owner of any vehicle to drive his/her own vehicle to the work site. However, at times, your vehicle may be driven by another adult to transport the participants to the worksite.

Who will we work with?

The church groups will be assigned to work at different sites. We feel that this helps you get to know more people and helps build true community.

Will we do other ministry work?

Yes. On Thursday night we will have dinner with the homeowners that we have been serving all week long. We also run a children's carnival one night during camp.

What is the registration fee and policy?

The total registration fee is $199 per person, or $225 for every person registered after April 1, 2009.
A $99.50 per person deposit is required at registration to reserve your space; the registration form itself is not sufficient to reserve spots. Please make sure that you reserve enough spots for your youth group. The balance is due by May 1, 2009. Registration is limited on a first-come, first-serve basis. Cancellations after June 1 will result in a 100% loss of total fee per cancellation. Cancellations between April 1 and June 1 result in the loss of the registration fee.
