St. Mark’s Youth Summer Service Trip to South Carolina

July 20 - July 25

St. Mark’s Youth Summer Service Trip to South Carolina: July 20-25

For High School Youth (Rising 9th Grade–Graduating Seniors)

This year’s youth service trip to South Carolina will take place Monday, July 20 through Saturday, July 25. During our week together, we will serve, learn, and live in community in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

We will fly to Spring Island, staying at Margaret Roscoe’s family house and another nearby home generously made available to our group for the week. Our service work will take place on nearby St. Helena Island, where we will serve the Gullah community through our partnership with the St. Helena Gullah Housing Project, assisting with home repairs for residents and supporting other community needs.

Our workdays will be Tuesday through Friday, typically beginning in the morning and finishing mid-afternoon. Alongside our time serving, the week will include shared meals, prayer and reflection, and time to rest and enjoy the beauty of the Lowcountry.
