BH YOUTH MISSION TRIP

Day:  July 12th-July 18th

Location: 333 S 13th Street, Harrisburg, PA 17104
Cost: $600

Thank you for applying to the Big House Youth Mission trip! We are thrilled to embark on this journey with you. Below, you will find everything you need to know about our mission trip.

ACTIVITIES

Most of our days include a diverse array of activities throughout our target area.

Here are a few that you can expect:

• Clearing trash and debris from sidewalks and abandoned lots
• Landscaping
• Gardening
• Installing flower boxes
• Loving our neighbors!

 
HOUSING

We are thrilled to have the capacity to host teams in the “Carriage House,” a four-room dorm-style building on our property with a large commons area. Your team will be split into multiple male and female bedrooms with showers.

SAFETY

Although we present some startling statistics about the crime rate in our neighborhood, your team’s safety is our top priority. We have never experienced any violent crime during our Love the Hill events. Our property is equipped with self-locking doors and multiple security cameras. Because we have planted our roots here, much of the neighborhood respects us and our property.
