2026 High School Trip
July 25-August 1, 2026
Portland, OR
Open to 9th - 12th Graders (2025-2026 School Year)
We are spending a week with Service Learning Camps. Each day, we will serve at 2 different sites each day, led by a local coordinator who has lived and served in Portland for years. Each night, we'll take time to talk about our service, enjoy good food, and spend time in Portland. At the end of our trip, we'll take a trip to the Oregon coast to see the Pacific ocean.
Lodging: Northwest Portland Hostel
For 35+ years, the Portland Hostel has served the area. It was recently named the Best Hostel in the US. Our Trinity Group has reserved the Group Center, which will be perfect for our group.
Transportation: Trains, Vans, and Planes
Our hope is to take the Amtrak train out to Portland. The train takes us through Glacier National Park and along the Columbia River Gorge with spectactular views. In Portland, we'll use rented vans. At the end of our trip, we'll fly home.
Cost: $1,350
Trinity will contribute $200 towards the registrastion cost of all active participants. This cost will be deducted from the cost of the trip after sign up, bringing the cost to $1,150.
