JUST ANOTHER HO-HUM SPECIAL FROM SLC!

Yesterday(see below) we laid out a plan to expand our “ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK” opportunities aimed at young adults/adults or groups interested in year round opportunities mostly in warmer settings: We are excited about the many places groups can serve/learn any time of the year. Believe it or not folks, those in the SHADOWS need us all year! We will work with groups to ensure reasonable prices and excellent service.

To help kick this effort off we offer this HO-HUM special good for 2 groups who want to help us open up our new site in Southwest Florida(Sarasota area) in 2026(now until December 1). $125 per person. Our lowest price ever. Looking for two groups. All ages welcome. Must contact me by July 1, 2026. Clock is ticking!
First two groups.

ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK TRIPS!!

As SLC continues to expand one area we would love to see grow is that of Spring Break(Year Round) dates.

We now have plentiful Southern/Temperate sites that(along with our flexible model) lend themselves to those groups who can travel in times other than the summer months.

Today we added Southwest Florida(Sarasota) to a long list of potential alternative season sites. San Diego, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Nashville, Atlanta and North Carolina(several sites) lend themselves due to warmer temperatures during Fall and Winter months. But Denver, Salt Lake City and others in our nation wide network work too(think skiers).

As we take tentative steps in this potential area of mission we are thinking college age, campus ministry and various adult groups might be the target audience; but who knows.

Looking for pilot groups to give these “off season” experiences a try.

I want to assure you the needs are overwhelming right now. The CHURCH and other available groups are needed all year round! The needs of those living in the SHADOWS are real, growing and present day in and day out all year.

Let’s chat! We have plenty of availability!

POP UPS IN 2027? AN EARLY NOTICE FOR ELCA GATHERING BOUND GROUPS!

On a regular basis I am asked if SLC will offer those awesome 2-3 day service learning experiences(We call them “POP UPS”) related to the Youth Gathering in Minneapolis, tentative dates for POP UPs would June 25-27 or so.

You may recall we offered these short 2-3 day reasonably priced service learning opportunities at various sites for groups on their way to the Gathering.

Depending on how things work out and how flexible groups are we do plan to offer POP UP’s for a small number of groups at a limited number of sites 2027.

As you plan for the Gathering and wish to explore a short SERVICE LEARNING EXPERIENCE on the way to the Twin Cities feel free to contact me to discuss.

Right now the plan is to offer a handful of sites that are within a few hours of the Twin Cities such as Sioux Falls, Milwaukee, Rockford, Madison, Kansas City, Fargo etc.

There are certainly other top sites that are a bit further out like Denver, Detroit, Nashville, Toledo and Chicago but our gut instinct is that folks will want to get as close as possible.

Feel free to reach out as desired.
