June 15–20, 2026

We’re heading to Jefferson City, TN, where we will stay at Carson–Newman University and serve in surrounding communities.

Table Youth will stay together at Carson–Newman University, sharing dorm-style housing, meals, and community spaces. During the week, students will:

• Participate in service projects
• Attend worship services and Bible studies
• Join small groups for reflection and connection

Table Youth Staff will be leading the trip with the support of adult volunteer leaders from the Table Church. 

Every student will be placed in an age-specific group for project sites with two or more adult leaders. 

All adult leaders:

• Have current background clearances required to work with minors
• Are trained to lead spiritually and relationally
• Will serve as the primary contact and encourager for their group of students

In an effort to maximize the spiritual experience for everyone, each student should understand a few expectations.

‍

Cell Phones

To minimize distraction and maximize the spiritual experience, phones will need to be turned off or put away during specific times:

• Worship gatherings 
• Small groups 
• Project sites 

Parents will receive contact info for youth pastors and adult leaders in case of emergency, and students can reach out in urgent situations.

Conduct

We expect students to:

• Treat others with respect and kindness 
• Remain in groups of three or more while on campus 
• Stay with the group during specific group times 
• Refrain from bullying, physical aggression, or disrespect 
• Be where you’re supposed to be when you’re supposed to be

‍

*If a student engages in serious misconduct, including but not limited to bullying, physical aggression, or disrespect toward others, they may be dismissed from the trip.

In that case, the student’s parent or legal guardian will be required to travel to Carson-Newman University and pick them up at their own expense. Students will not be sent home by flight or public transportation. 
‍

We are committed to creating a safe and respectful environment where every student can grow in their faith and experience God’s love.

The total cost for the trip is $450. However, all students who register before January 1, 2026, will automatically receive a $50 discount on their registration cost. 
‍

Deposit Info

A non-refundable/non-transferable deposit of $75 is due at registration.
‍

To make the total cost more manageable, here’s a simple financial roadmap to help break it up over time:

Financial Roadmap

• $75 (non-refundable) due at registration
• $100 payment 1 due Jan 5
• $125 payment 2 due April 5 
• $150 payment 3 due Jun 1 

‍

Raising Support

We never want finances to be a barrier—God always provides when we take a step of faith. 

We’ll help students take ownership by teaching them how to write support letters to family and friends—inviting others to give and pray. A fundraising packet and template will be provided after registration.

Additional Trip Expenses

Students will need additional spending money for meals during travel. The following meals are not included in the trip cost and should be planned for separately:

• Monday (June 15) – 2 meals 
• Friday (June 19) – 2 meals 
• Saturday (June 20) – 1 meal 

Optional: Students may want additional spending money for the camp store while at Camp and for snacks during the drive.
