Prep’s longstanding tradition of summer service immersion trips will continue this summer, and Campus Ministry is looking for alumni to participate as chaperones!
For years, Prep has been traveling across the country (and sometimes beyond) to join in solidarity with a variety of communities through summer immersion trips. The purpose of these trips is to build community both among our students, and between our students and the people they encounter through their service. Students can use these trips for completing their service hours, but many students participate to take part in the experience.
Year after year, we have large numbers of students enthusiastically participating in the summer immersion trips. In turn, we are once again in need of chaperones and we hope our alumni can help!
This summer, we are excited to offer seven immersion trips! Click each location to learn more:
- Romero Center, Camden, NJ: June 10-15, 10 Students/ 2 Chaperones

Here is what’s in it for you:
- These trips are awesome opportunities to get to know our current students and help ignite their spirit for service.
- It’s extremely powerful to learn about different communities around our nation from firsthand experience.
- There is a $600 stipend!
- It’s an opportunity to show off what Prep for Life really means. Showing our students that former graduates want to continue to be involved is deeply impactful.
