Dates and costs of the Crossroads program.
Unfortunately there are no scholarships or discounts available at this time.
If you need to miss a day or two of the program, that is probably fine. If you would end up missing more than a few days, however, you may want to explore different options that fit your summer schedule. Holy Land Trust and Middle East Fellowship run another program during the summer season called the Palestine Summer Encounter with more flexible dates.
The $150 registration fee is non refundable. The remaining fees are refundable as long as you inform us of your cancelation 30 days in advance. If you cancel later than that late cancellation fees may also apply.
The cost of the program covers a wide variety of expenses, including: basic medical travel insurance for each participant, money to cover the expense of food and housing, small honorariums for guest speakers, tips for drivers and guides, transportation expenses, preparatory materials and staff/administrative expenses. We try to keep the cost of the program as low as humanly possible while still insuring that we've covered all of the bases.
Yes. There are several ways to do this. Your friends and family, of course, can give you money directly to use toward the cost of your program participation. These gifts, because they are given to you and not to a 501(C)(3) nonprofit, are likely NOT tax deductible. We encourage you to thank your friends and family for their support in person or in writing and then make your payment in full for the program.
