In cooperation with Beth-El Farmworker Ministry, a ministry to four farmworker communities, based in Wimauma, Florida, and Metropolitan Ministries, an inner-city family mission located in downtown Tampa, the Challenge to Change program provides your group with the full experience of service, study, worship and personal growth.

There is a flat fee of $450 per person for a 5 night 6 day trip. This includes all meals, air-conditioned lodging, and camp activities.

Typical trips are for 5 nights and 6 days. However, we are happy to customize Challenge To Change to best fit your group’s needs.   Here is some of what we offer:
