Our International youth sports and travel program provide youth with an opportunity to compete against teams from other countries. In addition, to traveling and competing athletically, participating youth teams and their families have been able to tour the country and its’ cities where the competitions are held. We have found that this opportunity, affords unique experiences to participants that can only be realized through traveling abroad.
Adventure is one obvious result of international travel. Many youth sports team members have never flown before; most have never been to a foreign country where English is not the primary language; and almost all express some anxiety about being able to communicate and fit in with the culture. Much to their surprise, each participant quickly adapts and finds that kids throughout the world have so much in common. This invaluable experience helps them to understand we are all one big community. And, there is a need to help improve life for everyone for the future of humanity across the globe. Before, during and after the trip, the sense of adventure and accomplishment is realized which builds confidence in each child that they can make a difference and small wins matter. Many returns eager to help make a positive difference in their neighborhood, or school or within their family. For some, this may be the greatest adventure of their lifetime, and an experience that will be remembered and talked about forever.
Our mission is to make an indelible impression on participating team members which they will carry with them for life

The International youth sports competition program affords learning experiences in geography, foreign language, sociology, math (money exchanging, metric conversions, etc.), history, art and music.

We offer Humanitarian and Service Learning Experiences to the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It’s been documented and proven that an internal transformation of self-purpose takes place, along with enhanced awareness, when people from different cultures and perspectives come together in an open environment that promotes compassion and understanding. Our visit to Hispaniola is designed to facilitate highly personal and educational transformational experiences for each participant, which permeates to the group experience.
On every journey, an environment is created to place participants with the greatest opportunities to meet and serve others, to discover the Dominican Republic (D.R.) and Haiti society and culture, and to deliver hope to those in need. We are constantly mindful of security and comfort issues, making this a top priority. Our years of experience, staff and support teams facilitate a safe and thoughtful experience.
