Past Mission Trips
Summer 2024 (international): Dominican republic
may 21-31, 2024
In May of 2024 we partnered with One More Child, for the very first time, to provide services to vulnerable children and struggling families. We packaged and distributed a month of food to families in the village, which brought relief to many. At a local school we taught health lessons and played with them in the afternoon which brought joy and fostered meaningful connections.
Additionally, we had the opportunity to shadow doctors at two local clinics and observe various types of surgeries at the local hospital which provided us with valuable insight into the healthcare system in comparison to the United States.
Summer 2021 (international): Collique, Peru
The 2020-2021 Peru Mission trip is cancelled.
spring break 2020 (international): collique, peru
march 15-21, 2020
In March 2020, we partnered with Operación San Andrés (OSA), for the second year in a row, working in a community that has little access to affordable medical care. We served as a prep team for a full scale medical clinic that took place the following week. We set up appointment times, took vitals, and gathered basic health information. Additionally, we had the opportunity to play into team debris strengths and participate in a variety of activities that take place at their community center.
Spring Break 2018 (International): Belize
