I took a call this week from a college youth pastor in Oklahoma who wanted to join us on a CityConnexx urban missions trip to Denver over spring break and had an interesting request. He asked, "Dean do you think it would be possible for my group to ski while we'll be serving in Colorado?"

Immediately a light bulb went off in my head for these custom designed unique service projects. "Yea, I responded, I like that idea. We always have some free time built into our missions trips to see local attractions and the mountains are certainly one of those in Denver. It fact let's call it a "Serve & Ski" spring break missions trip."

He loved the idea and so they're bringing a group for a different kind of spring break. Wouldn't it be nice if more college groups came to See, Serve, and Ski over spring break rather than the typical college spring break venues?

We also have a college group from the Chicago area coming back again this spring break to serve. Last year we took them up to Rocky Mountain National Park on their day off to do some hiking, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing, many for the first time.
