Registration
When is registration week?
November 30 - December 4
What trip should I sign up for?
ANY TRIP! All HXP trips follow the same format - digital detox, really awesome Trip Leaders, humanitarian work, working with locals, daily devotion, temple visit - so in the end, the location matters so little.
When are payments due?
The $500 deposit is due upon registration. The midway payment is due in January and final payment is due in February.
Can I go on a trip as a Parent Builder without a teenager?
Yes!
Can I go on a trip with my spouse?
Yes!
When can I register?
Website launches the first week of November. Once the website is live, Builders can create an account, add trips to their cart, add policies and pay the $500 deposit. Once you make the deposit, you are officially in the lottery.
When do trips go live?
First week of November!
Is my trip refundable?
The $500 deposit is refundable through the cancellation deadline. After that, payments are non-refundable and non-transferable to another Builder or another year. Consider buying trip insurance to make sure your funds are covered.
Do I need to be a member of the church to go on these trips?
No! We would love to have you. We just require that you commit to and sign the code of conduct and follow principles and standards of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The group will also participate in daily scripture study and Sunday church services.
What does an average day look like on an HXP trip?
During weekdays, you'll spend most of your day at your project worksite; on the weekend, you'll do sightseeing activities; and on Sundays, you'll attend church.
How do I make an account?
Accounts are made on hxp.org. We will release a tutorial video as soon as it's live.
How many people will be on my trip?

International Trips (16-19 year olds): 23 people (19 Youth Builders, 2 Parent Builders, 2 Trip Leaders)
Can I use a company match to help pay for my trip?
Yes! Each company is a little different. But use a company match to help pay for your trip. Email us at info@hxp.org for more information.
How old do I have to be to go on a trip?
Domestic Builders are between 14-16 years old and International Builders are between 16-19 years old.
How do I get my friend and I on the same trip?
Our system doesn't let you sync accounts - and we do that on purpose. One thing we love about HXP trips are positive peer groups. This is your chance to create new friends and get ready for college/mission.
Do I need to make a new account if I went last year?
You can use the same account and add yourself to the 2027 season.
What does an average day look like on an HXP trip?
During weekdays, you'll spend most of your day at your project worksite; on the weekend, you'll do sightseeing activities; and on Sundays, you'll attend church.
What is included in the trip cost?
Your trip cost covers every aspect of your experience from the meetup airport to the end of the trip when you return to that airport (food, lodging, sightseeing, etc.). It is your job to cover the cost of domestic transportation to and from the meetup location and bring spending money for any extras you want to buy on your trip (souvenirs, extra snacks, etc.).
Who is the leader on the trip?
The Trip Leaders will lead out on the trip! They are handselected from our Trip Leader team.
How will I find out what trip I’m on?
The morning after you are run in the lottery, you will receive an email letting you know the result of the lottery. If you are waitlisted, we will give you tips and tricks for next steps.
What is the lottery?
The lottery is an automated system that places Builders on trips. It goes through your list of preferences and place you on the first available trip.
How many trips can I put in my cart? Should I put the max amount?
You can put up to 20 trips in your cart. Only put trips that you are EXCITED about going on and work for your schedule.
How much is the deposit? Is it refundable?
The deposit is $500. It is refundable through the cancellation deadline. After that, it is NOT refundable.
What does a Parent Builder do?
Parent builders ensure the safety of the trip, exemplify spiritual leadership, and commit to loving the builders and Trip Leaders.
We expect Parent Builders to:
Pray about how you can personally impact each builder
Support and encourage the Trip Leaders
Honor the rules, set an example and stay with the group
Attend and review your mandatory pre-training
Seek to stretch and grow beyond your comfort zone
We love our Parent Builders!
