Thank you very much to all whom made their second Caravan12 payment!
We appreciate your promptness and are grateful for the investment you are making in helping students take steps closer to Jesus! We hope that this spaced out payment plan is serving you to help budget and save appropriately for this large financial investment. If at any time you need to discuss your current budget or financial plan to make payments for Caravan just ask any of the youth directors. We are here to partner with you as a student, parent, aunt, grandfather, guardian, or whomever!
You will NOT receive a personal confirmation of receipt for your second Caravan12 payment from our Caravan team. If you paid online via Paypal you will have email confirmation from Paypal. We will ONLY contact you if we have NOT received your second payment, which we will discover after we record all recent payments. If you have already spoken with a youth director and have a plan in place for payment we will not contact you. If you would like a personal confirmation of your second payment receipt, please email Kristina directly as Tim and Ben are both out of town for a week.
YES there is STILL space on Caravan12. Three full buses and now we're overflowing into vans...but a fourth bus is reserved...can we do it?
Blessings,
Caravan Administrative Team

After that date any new regisratants lock in the rate of $899 and the deposit due after Feb. 1st also raises to $300 to keep in line with the set payment schedule. So space is available but time is of the essense if you want to save some money!

With space available it is a great opportunity to invite those who may not know Jesus but whom you care deeply about and want to give them the chance to have fun with all of us in the Big Apple and start to learn about who Jesus is and what He did for us!

Caravan had a record breaking night on Wednesday as the most students EVER signed up within the first 24 hours. We surpassed the 80 mark in just under 2 hours! Very cool! We know students are stoked and so are us youth directors! As of this Saturday evening the numbers have reached 100 but they are still coming in so if you or someone you know is considering, encourage them to secure their spot ASAP! We have a capacity of 200 this year and we won't be surprised if we reach that number!
If you have questions regarding registration, deposit, or general inquiries regarding the trip, don't hesitate to contact one of the Caravan Administrative Leaders! Their contact is below. In addition, Tim Walsten will be at the events desk in the atrium outside the gym at Orchard Hill to help people register, make payments, and answer questions tomorrow, Sunday Dec. 17,.
Finally, don't forget that many details regarding the trip are online as well as the sign up form. You can easily copy and send the following web address to friends, family, and others to share with them about Caravan! www.cedarvalleystudents.org
P.S. Don't forget to 'LIKE' Caravan on Facebook and follow on Twitter! @caravancv #caravan12
Blessings to you and your family this Christmas!
