Having a decent, affordable, and safe place to call home is a fundamental aspect of our lives, and one often taken for granted.  Travel with us to the Yakima Valley to help build a home for a family in need through the Yakima Valley affiliate of Habitat for Humanity (www.yakimahabitat.org).

Students will learn homebuilding skills and proper use of appropriate tools for the job.  We will be staying in pretty Spartan accomodations.  Students should come with a readiness for physical labor every day and an enthusiasm for helping others.  In addition to our daily construction work, we will also play three baseball games against local high school teams.

Project costs include a $175 per person weeklong build cost paid directly to Habitat for Humanity.

We will depart on the morning of Monday, March 25, and return in the evening on Friday, March 29.

Special Considerations

Students must be a part of the Upper School baseball program to participate in the project.
