Download, complete and print out an application.  Please type the application online, then print it.  We're no good at reading hand writing.   Remember to sign all necessary waivers.  Minors have extra forms that need to be filled out and signed by parents as well.
 
Mail signed applications (with Payment!) to:

ClubRust

9008 Linden Avenue North

The fine print:

ClubRust has NO insurance.  Make sure you are adequately covered during the trip.  You ARE required to sign all releases/waivers.

ClubRust is Christ centered, and is open to anyone with a good attitude.

Please dress modestly. The Mexican culture views clothing styles more conservatively.

 

Future Trips

 

  Future dates for our summer trip are listed in our Calendar.

 
Smaller ad-hoc trips happen whenever a project arises and a group of volunteers are available to do it.  Besides building homes and latrines, we maintain the ranch where we stay, and assist other groups and organizations with their projects in Mexico.  See the Ranch website at www.rancholapaloma.org and read about "Club Rancho" Projects!
