What We Do

We offer a cross-cultural mission trip experience for youth groups, college-age groups and families, all within an indigenous paradigm.

This mission trip experience will focus on community service projects and not Vacation Bible School’s. Our desire is to see students come as learners to our culture, and with a servant’s heart. And we don’t believe you can be a very good learner if you’re doing the teaching. So, we will focus the energy of your groups in the direction of service projects, spiritual formation and cultural immersion.

We at S.L.A.M. TRIPS know how important it is for Youth Pastors/Leaders to be able to invest in their students while on mission trips, without having to worry about the days programs and activities. Because we live in that awareness, we take care of all the programmatic services, lodging, cultural activities and food for you while you are here, so you can focus your time and attention on your students social and spiritual growth.

Along with service projects such as chopping wood for elders, cleaning brush and garbage from yards, painting over graffitee and painting houses, we will also provide cultural orientation for your group given by local Native Americans, Pow-Wow’s (depending on what week you come), participation in a Native American worship service (guaranteed to be VERY different from the church service you’re used to), a traditional salmon and Indian fry bread dinner with singing and dancing from local Native youth, tour of the Yakama Nation Musuem and Cultural Center, cooking s’mores over a fire pit at a locals house, and a night of bbq and games at a historical setting—Ft. Simcoe (the soldier fort during the Yakama wars and later turned into an Indian boarding school).

Your time here will be unforgettable!
