Some of the summer missions Cru UMaine students have attended are below.

Yellowstone Summer Mission

Yellowstone Summer Mission takes place in Yellowstone National Park at Old Faithful. It is a 12 week project where you work in housekeeping at the Old Faithful Inn, Lodge, or Snowlodge. The project really teaches you how to better reach out to the co-workers you work alongside while also growing in your own faith. It’s a really intentional summer where you will learn what true Christian community looks like as you learn more about the greatness of God.

You also learn a lot about yourself. There is a lot of time designated to reflect on all the things you will learn, and small groups to help you grow in vulnerability and trust. There is also plenty of time to experience God’s glory in nature as you hike and explore this amazing place with your amazing friends. It’s a summer that will change you, grow you, and shape you all for the better – drawing you closer to God. It’s an experience that you will never forget where you build relationships that will last a lifetime.

Juneau Summer Mission

The Juneau Summer mission in Juneau, Alaska is a ten week project where students are challenged to Love God, Love People, and Love Juneau. Students are encouraged to get a job, and to build relationships with the coworkers they meet.

JSM also focuses heavily on manhood and womanhood development, with many of the activities being men/women only. Students are left with the knowledge needed to truly live as the man/woman God has made them to be.
