Registration begins on May 1 for World Impact trips.  

Our registration process is tiered to allow older students an opportunity to travel first.  However, their advantage is limited to one additional hour on May 1 (see below).  For underclassmen, attempting to register before a designated time slot will result in being placed on a waitlist.  For all students, a spot is not secured until the deposit is received on May 2.  This money will be paid to Mrs. Capp in the High School Commons Area beginning at 7:00AM on May 2.  After 3:00PM on May 2, any student who has not paid the deposit will be replaced by a student on the waitlist.  

​

Mission trips require a "trip application".  These applications are to be submitted to Mrs. Capp by May 15.

​

Registration will open at 5:00PM for rising seniors, 6:00PM for rising juniors, 7:00PM for rising sophomores, and 8:00PM for rising freshmen, Again, please do not register prior to your designated time.  

​

Things to consider when registering:

• Deposits are non-refundable. The deposit and trip authorization form is required at signup. Deposit should be made in cash/check (made payable to ELCA). Billing is NOT available for paying the deposit.

• Departure dates are subject to change based on airfare and availability.

• Separate deposits are required when registering for more than one trip (e.g. two checks are required if registering for two trips).

• Trips will likely fill up.  A waitlist will be used to fill in spots.

• The registration portal will stay open until May 15 (unless closed already due to reaching max capacity). On May 15, the rosters will be set based on the registrants during this 2 week period. In August, new students will be given a chance to join a team roster if space allows.

• Students MUST be enrolled at ELCA for the year in which the trip will take place PRIOR to registering for a trip.  A student is NOT allowed to be on a list until after they are enrolled or re-enrolled.  Un-enrolled students who sign up will be removed from the trip list. No spot will be held while enrollment is being processed. 

• The Senior Trip to Disney does NOT require a deposit.  The account will be billed in 6 installments from June to November.

• Seniors are only allowed a second trip if their first trip is the Disney Senior Trip. Classes are cancelled for Seniors the week of the Disney Trip in the expectation that all Seniors are traveling to Disney.

• Contact Mrs. Holly Capp directly for questions at holly.capp@eagleslanding.org

• A background check is required for any adult traveling on an overnight trip. 

• All trips are subject to change. If a minimum number is not met, a trip could be canceled. The deposit would be returned on canceled trips and an attempt will be made to place the student on another trip.  

• Parents of High School students are allowed to travel on the Europe trip but no other trip due to space limitations. The cost for the parent is the same as the cost for a student. 

• Parents of Middle School students are allowed to travel on the Washington, DC and Charleston trips. The cost for the parent is the same as the cost for a student.

• All pricing of trips is based on quad occupancy. Rooms with fewer numbers will be billed at a higher rate.

​

Scholarships are available through the World Impact Program in May of each year. Students are invited to write an essay about their need and desire to serve on this trip. The essays are due by May 10 each year and recipients will be notified at the final chapel service of the year.

​

Fundraising is limited to assisting with the World Impact Program. Students are encouraged to raise support for their trips through letter-writing campaigns targeting their family and friends. Money that is mailed to ELCA on behalf of a student will be eligible for a charitable donation through the tax code. We encourage individuals making contributions to consult with their tax professional for documentation of donation.
