COVID-19 caused all but 1 trip in 2020 to be cancelled. We have made the following changes in order to continue the goodness of Spark of Hope in 2021. 1. HEPA + UV filters are installed in Chispa (the dormitory). 2. Masks are provided and participants are encouraged to wear them. 3. As always, plentiful hand sanitizer will be available. 4. Lumber prices have almost doubled. This has forced us to increase trip cost.
Participants must be at least 8 years old to attend.
