NovusWay is partnering with LDR Carolinas to provide a coordinator to establish working relationships with the community who need recovery work. This is a three-year relationship. This person will be in place in the coming weeks and will offer Year-Round Mission Trip opportunities for adult and high school groups.

Year-round Opportunities
Groups will be housed at Ridge or Rock in a basic cabin for $25 a night (no meals). For more comfortable accommodations and/or meals, groups may stay in one of our hotel-style spaces at our regular rates. The LDR coordinator will manage work sites and logistics. If a group would like additional “camp style programming or activities,” we can accommodate that for a modest fee to help cover the cost of our staff and resources. We will continue to share more information as it becomes available.
What Camp Provides:
1. An on-site Area Director to guide your group through the week and one additional staff member for every 20 participants
2. Meals from Sunday dinner through Friday lunch
3. Lodging at either Lutheridge or Lutherock in cabins or retreat centers
4. Disaster relief projects Monday-Wednesday including all tools and supplies, in partnership with Lutheran Disaster Response
5. All transportation to and from airports and disaster sites
What You Provide:
1. Supervision. All youth supervision is the responsibility of the adult leaders of the group. We require at least an 8:1 ratio of youth to adults.
2. Oversight for the distribution of medication and health care needs for all participants.
