  • Physical Condition  *More of a factor for some trips than others

  • Ability to work well within group of peers

  • Ability to respond appropriately to the leaders of the trip for which you are applying

  • Faculty recommendations

  • All new students must have a letter of recommendation from a youth pastor or pastor from the church in which they are active.
