Orlando Project Policies
The Orlando Project, like any summer development program, has specifically designed standards and policies to accomplish the goals of the program.

Out of Town Trips
The Orlando Project is a unique 10 week project in which each week builds on the week before it. It is crucial that we guard the continuity of the OP and the environment it creates. Therefore, no out of town trips are permitted except for the following:
1. EMERGENCIES: Death or illness in the family, etc. The Project Director needs to contacted and arrangements will be made immediately.
2. WEDDINGS: If the OP participant is IN the ceremony or close relative of the Groom or Bride.
3. MILTARTY DUTY: Any short term military training, drill, or activity with your unit, with prior knowledge of the Project Director.

2008 OP Facts
What is the Orlando Project?
The Orlando Project (OP) is an investment of 9 1/2 weeks that will pay dividends throughout the remainder of students’ lives! They will grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ by learning more about studying the Bible, praying, building relationships with other college students, working a full-time job, sharing their faith and attending a local church.
Where is it?
The OP will be located in Orlando, Florida at the Days Inn at Maingate Universal, only minutes from Universal Studios.
Who will be there?
Approximately 85 students from Indiana State University, Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis (IUPUI), the University of Southern Indiana, and other Indiana schools will attend.
What is the cost?
The cost is $1380. This covers rent, four meals each week, and other expenses such as notebooks, materials and a t-shirt. It does not include other meals throughout the week and fuel costs. Payment can be made in full on the first day of the Project, or in weekly installments over the course of the summer. Students commonly raise money from their home churches, relatives, and friends to help pay for the cost, or finance the summer through the salary they earn working for Universal Studios.

What churches are involved?
We are currently building relationships with local churches and deciding which ones we will attend during the summer.
Who Sponsors OP?
Campus Outreach Indianapolis (COI) is an interdenominational ministry to college students in Indiana. COI sponsors the project. The Campus Outreach staff of are under the supervision of Christ Community Church (PCA) in Carmel, Indiana.
