Experience the diversity of the Free State, Limpopo and Gauteng provinces of beautiful South Africa with its mountains, savannahs, gold and diamond mines, and huge cities of squatter camps.
Upon completion of Boot Camp, you bus to the Miami International Airport and board a flight to Johannesburg, South Africa via London, England. After training with the Manna Project, a ministry that provides bread inscribed with the written Word of God on each slice, you will share this bread of life with the orphans and homeless in many hopeless communities.
You will have the privilege of being involved in various work projects to uplift and encourage the people of these destitute areas. Enjoy a safari to Krueger National Park—the largest game park in the world—where you may see the “Big Five” animals (leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, water buffalo and lion). Other animals that roam the park are baboons, zebras, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles and wildebeest, just to name a few.
You will also have time at the Teen Missions in South Africa base to help with various projects such as painting, landscaping, mixing concrete and laying sidewalks. Shopping for handcrafted items such as wooden carvings, beadwork on clothing, handbags, jewelry, batiks, colorful tablecloths and handmade musical instruments will complete your experience in South Africa.

Hi Beth,
The Specific Fact Sheet states to bring $25 cash for Departure Tax, but the Preteen Cashier’s Check Form has a line for Departure Tax. Which would Teen Missions prefer? Thank you. Ellen

Ellen, It can be in a cashier’s check so the child is not carrying cash.

Mrs. Kostner, I was looking at my preteen facts sheet and I noticed something on the team schedule. It says “July 10/11 TRAVEL TO PROJECT” will that be an overnight flight?

Mallory, Look at your flight schedule which was also in that Fact Sheet. It is a long flight to SA.
