Cost is $175 but the church will supplement the cost and therefore each student will pay $100 which includes all meals, housing at Columbus State College, registration fee, and t-shirt. There is a possibility we can go White Water Rafting as well. If for any reason a student has to drop out after February 20, the student will owe the entire $175 to the church.
