COST:
A $125 fee is assessed by HFHMGC to support housing construction, operations and the volunteer experience. Payment is made during the online registration process, or can be mailed to HFHMGC within 10 days of online registration.

TIPS:
Don’t bring anything of value. Leave your jewelry at home. Think simple, comfortable, and necessary. There will most likely be other teams staying at the camp the same time you are. Take time to talk to the other volunteers and find out why they came. Almost everyone has a good story. And remember. . . Have a servant’s heart. Be flexible.
