About this Trip
With its unique cuisine, rich culture, stunning beaches, breathtaking waterfalls, and warm hospitality, Brazil is the perfect destination for adventure, relaxation, and soaking up the sun!
Fly into Florianopolis where our time will be spent serving and adventuring. Most days will include working side by side with the local people while we provide education and improvement projects to the poorest area in Southern Brazil. Here we will provide families with clean water filters, fix up their community center, teach self-sufficiency classes, and deliver much needed food. Connect with the elderly at a low-income nursing home, where elders are in desperate need love, service and quality time.
Paddle board on some of the most iconic beaches and shorelines in the world, sand board down Joaquina Dunes that stretch from a nearby lake all the way to the ocean, and ride horses along the unforgettable coast.
This expedition pace and projects are the perfect mix of hard work, growth, and pure beachy bliss.
Who can apply for a service expedition/trip?
Service trips are open to adults over the age of 18 or family groups. The minimum age of participants within a family group is 8 years old. If you are younger than 18 and would like to attend without your family, you must apply with a chaperone and obtain a parent consent form.
You will need to be able to effectively care for yourself and family members including allergies and other mental or physical restrictions. Participants should be healthy enough to participate in long days of working and playing hard with a rigorous schedule. Many expeditions also have portions of the trip that are filled with adventure, and sleeping accommodations may involve camping. Review the itinerary to be sure it is the right fit for you.
