Dominican Republic Trip

Families with students of all ages are invited to join us in the Dominican Republic. Don’t miss a chance of a lifetime full of insightful mission work, mindful diversity and cultural experiences.

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 will:

• Worship with each other and the locals: daily morning devotionals, sharing and individual quiet time will help encourage the spiritual development of each student
• Aid in construction of homes, schools or places of worship
• Visit the community and foster a cultural understanding. Students will gain an eye opening perspective of our materialistic differences and christ-like similarities
• What’s a vacation without a history lesson? Santo Domingo is full of history, and students will learn about its heritage on their downtown tour.

Space is limited and the cost of the trip is roughly $855 per person (based on most recent trip cost). The cost does not include airfare (MCO to SDQ). Registration ends at the start of February, and all payment will be due by March. Please direct questions to Don Baker and download your copy of the Dominican Republic Mission Trip Brochure for 2015.

Attend the informational meeting on Thursday, December 3rd at 8:00am in Upper School Room 229.
