Middletown Christian Church

Youth Holiday World Trip
2025-07-16
Middle & High School students are invited to spend the day with us at Holiday World! We’ll meet at church at 9:30 am and take the church vans/carpool from here. We plan to be back at church for pick-up around 9 pm, but we’ll be sure your student communicates specifics with you as we’re headed back!
COST: $47 PAY & SIGN UP HERE
Students will need money for their own food and any purchases in the park (beverages are FREE at Holiday World) and a fast food dinner stop on the road back home. Holiday World is cashless, so they will need a credit/debit card or will have to exchange their cash for a card at a kiosk inside the park.
Parents – you are welcome to join us, as we’d love to have the extra chaperones or drivers. Just grab yourself a ticket, and note in the box whether you’re available to drive and transport students and/or chaperone a small group of students (don’t worry… we’ll give them assigned group check-in times, so you don’t have to stay with them all day).

Our partnership with Urban Promise in Camden, New Jersey, provides the opportunity to invest in an otherwise overlooked community in a very unique way. In our week there, we will partner with Urban Promise’s Street Leaders – local teens who invest in mentoring younger children – as we assist in their summer camp program. We will also do some hands-on work around their facilities to keep their ministry vibrant and inviting. Students currently in high school (9th-12th grades) are eligible to participate. Current 8th graders entering high school in the fall of 2025 may also participate if there are available spots. (Email Becky at bschroeder@middletownchristian.org if your 8th grader is interested in a spot.)
