Do I have to come each day? Since the days flow together as a unified whole, we ask that students be present Monday through Thursday. Individual exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis.
What will we be doing? Each day students will be sent out in teams with chaperones for work projects at people's houses - fixing, cleaning, raking, building, etc - and other sites around the city like the Catholic cemetery, Baraga house, Jacobetti home for veterans, Care Clinic pregnancy center, etc. We'll spend time visiting with the people we serve.Will we be working all day? Work projects will take up 5-6 hours each day. Besides working, we'll have time for Mass, picnics and meals, and evenings of fun activities, reflection, discussion, and prayer.
Where will we sleep? Students will sleep at St. Paul's school building in Negaunee in separate male and female areas. Overnight adult chaperones will also spend the night there. The building contains male and female shower and bathroom areas. Some mattresses are available, and students can bring sleeping bags or bedding, pillows, and extra floor camping mats.
