Dominican Republic Trip

Families with students of all ages were invited to join us in the Dominican Republic. The First Academy has partnered with the Mission Emanuel ministry in its focus to transform the community with Christ. Families will stay in a newly renovated hotel with modern accommodations, meals are included.

On this five-day trip to Santo Domingo the group experienced:

• Worship with each other and the locals: daily morning devotionals, sharing and individual quiet time which encouraged the spiritual development of each student.
• Aid in construction of homes, schools or places of worship.
• Visiting the community and fosteromg a cultural understanding. Students gained an eye opening perspective of our materialistic differences and christ-like similarities.
• A historical perspective on Santo Domingo. Students learned about its heritage on their downtown tour.

Space was limited and the cost roughly $855 per person. The cost does not include airfare (MCO to SDQ).
