Costs
The total cost for a week-long service-learning trip (Saturday through Friday) is $375.00 per person, plus a 4% tax. This covers food, housing, and transportation while on the reservation. It does not cover your transportation to and from our site or snack and souvenir items.
Accommodations
RE-MEMBER has two facilities with "dorm rooms" outfitted with bunk beds. There are ten showers, eight toilets, and one outdoor facility. There is a complete kitchen where everyone engages in cooking and cleanup. (Due to the nature of our work projects and staffing constraints, we are doing our best to cap our spring and fall weeks at approximately 40 people and our summer weeks at approximately 60 people.)
How to sign up
Contact Paula, the volunteer trip coordinator to sign up for a trip. We'll send you our Reservation Agreement and deposit information while holding your spots for one month.
For Youth Groups
The minimum age for our trips is 13. We require this because of the nature of the work we are doing, and the issues we discuss during the week. We also require a ratio of 1 adult (21 years or older) for every 6 young people (18 years or younger). If the group consists of male and female youth, the group leaders must consist of one of each gender.
Family Week
The minimum age limit does not apply to our Family Week program, created for children ages 6-12 and led by our trained staff. Children learn about Lakota culture through arts and crafts, trips, music, and activities while older family members participate in our regular program. Cost is $150.00 per child, plus a 4% tax. See the Trip Dates at left for Family Week dates.
Are trip fees tax deductible?
No, they are not. Based on strict IRS guidelines about tax-deductibility, donors are unable to receive a tax deduction when a good or service is received in return for the contribution. In this case, the $375 trip fee covers the cost of food, lodging, and transportation during your time with us and is not considered a donation to RE-MEMBER. If you would like to make a donation, please visit our Donations page.
