Beyond the Car Ride: How to Prepare for Trips that Matter

The destination is just part of the story. Great student trips don’t happen by accident—they’re the result of thoughtful preparation, intentional leadership, and a plan to build relationships and discipleship along the way. Whether you’re taking students to a weekend retreat or a week-long mission tour, this workshop will help you plan what happens before, during, and after your trip. We’ll talk about logistics, team culture, and the leader’s ongoing role while on-site—because even when someone else organizes the big event, your leadership still matters. Learn how these events can strengthen your ministry and make space for God to move in students’ lives.
