• Any cancelled participants after May 15, 2010 will lose all deposits and payments.
• All cancellations should be done through the online cancellation form. We will not honor any cancellations communicated through emails, letters, or phone messages.
• When registering your team we recommend using the most conservative headcount possible as it is easier to add participants than it is to subtract. However, remember that space is limited at most sites.
• Cancellations due to severe illness or emergencies must be communicated through the online cancellation form. Mission Encounter staff will review the case and make a decision on any possible refunds.

Accommodations:

Q: Where will we be staying?
A: Participants will be staying at a church campus on the Navajo Indian Reservation. The church campus will have running, hot water, a full size kitchen for meals, and floor space for sleeping arrangements. Please bring cots, air mattresses, sheets, pillows, etc.

Q: Where do we eat?
A: Breakfast and dinner will be provided at the church. Brown bag lunches will be provided each work day.

Projects:

Q: What is project money and how much do we need to provide?
A: Project money or project funds are the means in which teams obtain the materials necessary to completing a specific project. These funds are sent directly to M.E. before the team arrives at its camp site. These funds are then combined with the funds of other teams at that particular camp site. M.E. then uses these funds to purchase materials for all the teams present at the site. The amount of project funds needed varies depending on the specifics of the project. NOTE: M.E. understands that not all teams have the financial resources as others and would never disqualify a team from participating due to lack of project funds. However, the success of our events is based on our ability to provide the necessary materials to see each project to completion. Mission Encounter strongly encourages all teams to provide $500 – 1500 for each team. This amount will also depend on the nature of the designated projects.

Q: Will water be provided on the work site?
A: Mission Encounter will provided one bottle of water with each sack lunch. Participants will be responsible for their own coolers and water apart from that.

Q: Can we do a VBS program?
A: Yes. However, it is imperative that you communicate to M.E. your desire to do a VBS program as soon as possible due to limited space and availability. Also, it is the participants’ responsibility to bring all necessary materials and curriculum for the program.

Activities:

Q: What activities are available for our free day?
A: There are a wide variety of activities available in the Navajo Nation and the surrounding areas. Here is a sample list that we have compiled for you.

Q: Are free day activities included in our price?
A: No. All activities are done independent of your team cost for the trip.

Q: What meals are provided on free day?
A: Breakfast as usual. Lunch and dinner are not provided.

Check-in/Check-out:

Q: Is check-in/check-out always on Sunday afternoon/Saturday morning? What if we want to check-in on an odd day?
A: Check-in is always on Sunday afternoon after 3:00 p.m. We are no longer accepting registrations for ‘odd day’ (any day other than the designated Sunday time) check-in dates. Please contact us if you have a schedule conflict that will not allow you to check-in on Sunday afternoon. Trips are always 6 nights starting on Sunday night.

Q: How early can we check-in on Sunday?
A: 3:00 p.m.

Transportation:

Q: We are flying in to the site. Is M.E. responsible for transporting us to/from the airport and to/from our work sites?
A: No. Each team is responsible to provide its own transportation to/from the airport, to/from work sites, and to/from free day activities.

Shots/Vaccinations:

A: Yes. Each participant is required to have updated Tetanus shots.
