It typically costs more to put on the Sojourn than what we take in, and contributions of time, goods, and services from our many sponsors and supporters allow us to keep participant costs as low as possible. The Sojourn Committee is ever appreciative of the donations, grants, and in-kind services that it receives. The cost for Adults is $100 and for Youth is $70 per day. Please note that fields marked with an * are required.

Kelley Nelson, 48, passed away after a battle with cancer on September 29. Kelley, his wife Barbara, and their two children, Sophia and Gabe, have been regular Sojourn thru-trippers since ~2016. They also were members of NCSP.
Kelley was a kind, generous and all-around great man. He and Barbara paddled their tandem canoe during the entire Sojourn this year. He was already sick, but many did not know at the time.
Here is a link to his obituary: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/kelley-nelson-obituary?id=53228407. The family has generously asked that donations in Kelley’s name be made to the Sojourn.
Please keep the entire Nelson family, and all who are close with them, in your thoughts during this incredibly sad time.
If you would like to make a donation in memory of Kelley, please use the button or link below.
