Ready for an unforgettable summer?

The Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP) Las Vegas chapter is hosting a 40-day road trip that promises to rejuvenate spiritually, mentally and emotionally as you bond with friends of faith and travel across the country to visit different Unification communities.

This “Summer of Fun” has FIVE segments. You can choose to participate in one or two segments or the for the entire 40 days! Each segment has its unique features, activities, and educational components. The cost of each may also change slightly depending on the actual number of the participants.

The Summer of Fun is open to all college-aged young adults. Both new first-generation and young adult second-generation Unificationists who would like to attend must have a 7-day-workshop-level understanding of the Divine Principle and must be very comfortable with the concept of True Parents.

Please note that the space for each segment is limited and all participants are required to apply ahead of time. There will be additional fees to those detailed below if a participant plans to travel with the core CARP Las Vegas team between each of the segments.
