OTHER:

This is a mission’s trip like no other. The Copper Canyon Mexico is a remote and rugged area. Once in the Canyon, you will be sleeping on mats and in sleeping bags. There is no running water or electricity. We will be serving the Tarahumara people through the building of new washrooms and adding onto the medical clinic. We will also be spending time in the orphanage and delivering food and sanitary hampers to surrounding villages.

THERE IS A PHYSICAL REQUIREMENT FOR THIS TRIP. While there, we will be doing a 1.5 hour hike in the canyon as well as an 8-10 hour hike (optional) to another village.
