3. Contract with Massanetta Springs for the dates. Costs (including meals, lodging, snacks, and
recreational facilities including swimming pool, canoes once per week, campfire once per
      week) are:
         a. $5 registration fee plus $53 per night per person in air-conditioned cabins arranged in
             four villages (each village has four 8-bed cabins, a bath house, and a lodge). Breakfast
             and supper in the Hotel Dining Room; lunch, snacks, and beverages sent to the worksite.
             When camp cabins are not available, housing is provided in Wilson Cottage and/or
             Virginia Cottage for the same fee. Linens available for $7 per set for cabins and
             cottages.
         b. $5 registration fee plus $82 per night per person in air-conditioned Richardson Building
              (available in fall, winter, and spring months; each room has two-twin beds connecting
              with a bath to an adjacent two-twin bed room). Breakfast and supper in the Hotel
              Dining Room; lunch, snacks, and beverages sent to the worksite. Linens provided.

4. Mission projects are selected based upon the skill-sets of the group. Careful attention is paid
     to the skills and the tools necessary to support those skills so that groups do not remain idle
     during the mission experience. Unique to Massanetta, partnerships have been established
     with a wide-variety of local agencies to provide rich, rewarding service opportunities for each
     group member. Agencies include:
         a. Rebuilding Together Harrisonburg/Rockingham and Rebuilding Together Greater Augusta
                 i. Both of these programs provide rehabilitations within homes of elderly or
                     disadvantaged persons.
                ii. Often require skills and abilities like carpentry, electrical, plumbing, roofing, etc.
               iii. Building materials and some tools are provided by Rebuilding Together.
               iv. When possible, a pre-trip site visit will allow the group leaders to determine other
                     tools and supplies helpful to accomplish goals for the week.
        b. Mercy House Thrift Store (volunteers sort clothing and other items, preparing them for
               display and sale in the store). This is particularly well-suited for Middle School age
               youth.
          c. The Volunteer Farm of Shenandoah near Woodstock, Virginia accepts volunteers to
               help on the farm. Summertime the farm is in full swing--harvesting the early crops,
               planting new crops, and continual soil improvement. The program is a partner of the
               World Foundation for Children and provides fresh produce to a number of Food Banks
               throughout the region. This is particularly well-suited for Middle School age youth.
          d. Projects at Massanetta Springs Camp & Conference Center. Maintaining a facility with
               52 buildings and over 200 acres of property requires constant care.
               Mission@Massanetta teams have cleaned trails and the Challenge Course, painted camp
               cabins, and any variety of other tasks needed to support the ministry of Massanetta.

5. For youth groups, Mission@Massanetta requires one adult for every six youth.

6. Evening devotions and debriefing are the responsibility of each group. When multiple groups
are on campus, there may be joint planning and enjoyment of the evening worship activity.

7. Mission@Massanetta is a program of the Massanetta Springs Camp & Conference Center and
receives the full attention of our guest services department.
