General Description: Ripon has a small town atmosphere that is restful and friendly, but we are also close enough to cities like Sacramento and San Francisco, and surrounded by the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Ripon is an agricultural community known for its production of Almonds. The typical climate is hot and dry in the summer with temperatures averaging 80 degrees Fahrenheit in July with extremes ranging to 110.
Facilities: SERVE participants will sleep at Almond Valley CRC in the youth room and in classrooms, and will shower at nearby Ripon Christian School.
Work Sites: Work will include light construction, painting, demolition, and landscaping
Day Away: We will be going to Santa Cruz to the beach and boardwalk. Participants can swim in the ocean, ride the rides at the Boardwalk, or shop for souveniers at local shops.
Transportation: Registration fees do NOT include transportation to and from this mission experience. As an all-inclusive site, transportation will be provided for you once you arrive at the site.
Adult leaders will likely be asked to drive vehicles borrowed or rented by the Host Team during the mission experience. Please drive and treat these vehicles as if they were your own. Drivers will be held responsible for damage to borrowed or rented vehicles.
For your decision making purposes, the closest airport is Sacramento, CA.
Please DO NOT book airfare until you have received written confirmation from Youth Unlimited that you have been placed at this site.

I was wondering how one would be able to send an email to someone on Ripon serve this week. I know that this has been possible at other sites, but I’m not sure how to do it here.
