Think of this as the trip of a lifetime to change lives. We will absolutely experience everything the nature and people of Panama have to offer while also opening our hearts and minds to the very real challenges faced by the charity organizations as they work to address disparities in their local areas. 

You should expect to dive deep into the charity work being done by the organizations we will interact with. Expect to help, to support, and to learn. Expect to absorb information and accept the changes that take place in us as humans when we encounter cultures and challenges that differ from our own. 

- Spend time immersed in local culture in Panama City and Casco Viejo 

- Adventure into the jungle on an overnight visit with the Embera indigenous tribe

- Spend 3 days relaxing and island-hopping with our indigenous guides in the beautiful San Blas islands

- Share your gifts through volunteering to teach English and recycling techniques 

- Experience all Panama has to offer with local classes, special surprises, and more!
