GROUND COST
Road System Villages:
Based on a team of 12-15 the cost per person is $80.00 per day. This covers:
- A t-shirt and decal
- Orientation dinner
- Food (meals and snacks)
- Trailer, and transportation to and from the airport
- - There is a van rental fee of $425.00 per day. The vans can accommodate up to 15 individuals and should be returned with a full fuel tank.
If the True North vans are unavailable, external vans will need to be rented. That cost is an extra $125 per day. Vans will be full of fuel and need to be returned as such (rented from True North or an outside vendor). These costs are solely for road system villages.
Remote Village:
- The cost per person per day is $105.00 for a team of 6-12 individuals.
- This includes the same amenities as the road system teams but also covers the cost of shipping food to the remote villages.
- Depending on the village destination, extra airfare and/or boat fuel costs may apply.
Airfare:
Airfare costs from your location are not included in the ground costs. Teams are responsible for booking their flights, but we are happy to help with any questions. Most teams will fly into Fairbanks, but if you go to a remote location, you may fly into another area. Please check with us before booking. Additionally, please forward the itinerary to Alaskaoutreach.org once tickets are booked.
For remote village locations, airfare is additional, and many of these villages are only accessible by smaller 6 or 9-passenger planes. This is an extra cost, and we will assist you in arranging these flights. Airfare costs from your location are not included in the ground costs.

Ministry Materials Cost:
Part of the ground cost covers ministry expenses at the host church. This includes ministry materials and expenses that the church incurs, as prices in the villages are usually three times higher than in Fairbanks. In the event additional materials are requested by the host community, the team will coordinate with the host pastor and purchase them. These materials can be shipped directly to the host church. The address will be provided later.
Team Fun Day:
On the final day of the trip, the team is allotted a full day to enjoy the sites in Alaska. Some communities have different adventure trips that the host pastor may be able to assist with. Most teams try to go to Denali National Park to hike, 4-wheeler tours, and rafting. These are all extra costs and must be booked early (March or April).
Payments:
All payments are requested to be made by check to Alaska Outreach at 2830 Airport Way, Fairbanks, AK 99709. You also have the option to pay by credit card, but please note that a 3% credit card charge will be added. The payment for van rental needs to be sent by January 8th, as we must rent the vans that early. Please be aware that van rentals in the Fairbanks area are limited. The ground fee portion needs to be sent by May 1st. If you need to make other arrangements, please feel free to ask. We will send out an invoice two weeks before the due dates.
Our goal is to make this mission experience as affordable as possible for all our teams. However, it's important to keep in mind that everything coming into Alaska must be flown, trucked, or shipped by boat.
Medical Release Forms and Background Checks:
***Since we are the facilitator your church or your district is responsible for providing your medical release forms and background checks.
Trip Insurance:
We highly recommend trip insurance through AG Financial. Even on road system trips, there can be a great distance to a hospital, and transport costs can increase quickly. The cost is under $2 per day per person.
Extra Details:
As you are building your team, please plan to gather T-shirt sizes and food allergies. We try our best to make reasonable allergy substitutes, if possible.
We will set up two Zoom calls: one with the team leaders and one with the team itself. If your team comprises various churches, we can record a question-and-answer session that you can play for the team.
Upon arrival in Fairbanks, we will feed the team. We will have breakfast items ready for early departure the following day. Also, plan to have individuals available to cook the meals as we provide the food, but not the chef. We provide a suggested menu and adequate supplies to accomplish these meals.
Also, each team member must bring a sleeping bag and air mattress, if desired. Those can be shipped directly to True North Church, 2830 Airport Way, Fairbanks, AK 99709.
Once again, thank you for choosing to come and serve in Alaska. Your work greatly impacts each community for kingdom purposes.
Please begin praying now for open doors and lives to be changed.
