DR 2016 Report, DR 2017 Dates 
Next trip planned for June 12 - 19, 2017
The summary report on our 2016 mission trip to the Dominican Republic has been completed and is posted at the link below. This report also contains a link to an online album that has over 500 photographs from that trip. Other photographs will be added soon to bring the total to around 1,000 images -- lots was done, so lots to see. 


The dates for next year's trip are June 12 -19, 2017. We selected the date early so that we could get on the Campamento schedule at a time after our schools ended and before their summer camp sessions begin and so that those thinking of going with us could block out the dates on next year's schedule. If you are interested in applying for the "Go Team," contact Julia or Julius Ariail at [email protected]
