In the summer of 2026, we’re taking a group of high school juniors and seniors to Uganda to bring hope through sharing stories, participating in school outreach, and serving in community development projects. We believe this will be a great opportunity for our students to practice the ways of Jesus, advance kingdom culture, and grow as disciples.
Students who:
Complete an application (applications will be open from September 29–October 12).

There will be one adventure day that includes hiking a volcano, visiting a local tribe, and going to a museum.
The total cost of the trip is $3,700. The first $200 is a non-refundable deposit due within 72 hours of acceptance to the trip, and each student will be required to raise the remaining funds across six months leading up to the trip (November-April).
The total cost of the trip includes airfare, visa, all ground transportation, baggage fees, meals, lodging, international insurance, ministry training, and ministry supplies.
The total cost of the trip does not include passport fees, souvenirs, additional international insurance, or immunizations.
All donations towards the trip are tax-deductible, and all funds raised for the trip are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Valley Creek Staff and leaders are leading the trip and will provide resources to track fundraising, paperwork, and tasks leading up to the trip. All leaders are background-checked and have experience leading students.
Once in Uganda, our team will partner with Eden Mission to create a great experience for students while providing an exponential impact in the community.
