MISSION TRIPS: GLEN MAR YOUTH

Glen Mar Youth trips are organized by the Glen Mar Youth Minister. Participants in the Glen Mar Youth trips are required to attend mandatory training sessions prior to the trips. The cost of each trip includes all housing, meals, materials and a T-shirt. Participants are encouraged to support various mission trip fund-raisers to help cover the costs of chaperon registration, vehicle rental, and fuel.
