DOMINICAN REPUBLIC  |  10th - 12th Grade

On this journey, teams will build orphanages and reach out to children with love and the Gospel. Since 1997,  LeaderTreks has been working with multiple partners to construct homes and schools for children who have been abandoned. The work is meaningful and the relationship with the kids is life changing.  This trip is a full 14 days. On top of serving in the kingdom, students will experience once-in-a-life-time opportunities, including:

• Attending a Monte Plata village church
• Visiting a beautiful waterfall (above) midtrip
• White-water rafting
• Ending the trip by debriefing at a beach-front hotel

DR is a Student-Led trip with adult leaders facilitating.
