Visions Service Adventures

PROGRAM LOCATIONS

Long-standing connections with our host communities translates into an experience where you are brought in like family. Service is our way of thanking local people for sharing their lives with us. Completed projects are one way you leave part of yourself in a place of importance, just as you take part of that place and its life lessons with you.

Montana Blackfeet Indian Reservation: 33 years of projects ranging from carpentry to serving meals to children, environmental initiatives and setting up ceremonial tipi lodges with local partners, all while living in the dramatic landscape of the Northern Rockies on an 1100 acre conservation ranch. You'll experience Plains Indian indigenous culture with community members who welcome you like an old friend. Time is also spent in the great outdoors, at the foothills of Glacier National Park, connecting with the land in the same way that you'll be connecting with new friends and new experiences.

Dominican Republic: More than 3500 Dominican children attend classes every year in schools that VISIONS teens and local partners have constructed over our 33 years working in this most vibrant of countries. You also lead a popular summer camp and shed any inhibitions while living in the heart of a joyful neighborhood where kids and elders alike help you with Spanish skills and bring you in for games, meals, dance lessons, and more. Time connecting with the natural world finds you at a mountainous lake, the beach, and short hikes.

Peru: Our homebase in the Sacred Valley of the Inca has welcomed VISIONS groups for 25 years. You will help Quechua indigenous communities on a lifeblood project: water. Add your name to the legacy of miles of water canals constructed with humble farmers whose crops and livelihoods would otherwise be in peril from the increasing drought conditions. The days are joyful and fun working together, and there's also plenty of time for exploration: Machu Picchu, ancient ruins, sprawling markets, chocolate-making workshops, and more.
