MBA Service Trips

Each year groups of MBA gentlemen and their chaperones head across the globe on community-centered adventures.  The Dominican Republic trip has long been a favorite of MBA students, mostly from the 9th and 10th grade classes, and this year we are building on that tradition by offering a new and exciting trip to Panama.  South Africa was added to the itinerary for 11th and 12th grade boys several years ago and has quickly grown into another popular and meaningful alternative that now occurs in the summer.  Several years ago we added Cuba into the mix, offering juniors and seniors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit this intriguing country over Spring Break.  Due to unrest in Cuba, in 2022 the classes of 2022 and 2023 traveled to Greece, and this amazing trip will be offered again for Spring Break 2023.

We are excited again to offer a summer service trip for rising 8th and 9th graders!  Boys from the rising 8th and 9th grade classes will travel to Guatemala, where they will offer their skills, talent and spirit to young school children in the area.  Like the high school trips, this adventure includes daily cultural excursions and lots of fun.

Calling all high school students to a trip of a lifetime ... the South Africa experience is back!  MBA students will travel to Cape Town, South Africa to spend a week of unforgettable service, culture and beauty in June 2023.  The group will spend rewarding days working on projects for Living Hope, an organization that serves the poor and sick in Cape Town, and interacting with local residents.  Our past experiences in this community have made a huge impact not only on the people of Cape Town but on each boy and chaperone who has had the opportunity to volunteer.  Robben Island, South African townships, a penguin colony, Table Mountain and more round out the journey, making it truly a trip to remember. 

For the first time this year, we will also be visiting Soweto and Kruger National Park!  It is going to be a truly amazing experience.

Trip Cost: $5250, including airfare, ground transportation, in-country food, lodging, activities and more.
