El Salvador Student Mission Trip 2026

Trip Dates: July 9-15, 2026
Application deadline: March 9th

Purpose:   This mission trip to El Salvador gives our high school students a powerful opportunity to experience one of Central America’s most vibrant and beautiful countries while growing their faith through serving the local church.

Throughout the week, the team will partner with a local church to lead a Sports VBS and take part in meaningful service projects that bless families and strengthen community ministries. Along the way, students will encounter the rich culture of the Salvadoran people. The trip ends with a fun excursion—enjoying the main city of San Salvador, visiting the country’s stunning beaches, and hiking one of its iconic volcanoes.

Age requirement: This trip will be for our high school students entering 9th grade through 12th grade.

Cost: $1,600 (Included Airfare and Meals)
Everything is covered except for snacks and souvenirs.

Praying Pelican Partnership:  We have partnered with Praying Pelican Missions, who will have staff members with our team for the entirety of the trip.  They match us with the local church, take care of meals, travel, and accommodations.

Accommodations: The team will be staying at one of PPM's partner churches that have large air-conditioned rooms and bathrooms to separate the guys and the girls.  The team will be sleeping on the floor so each participant will need to bring an air mattress/bed roll and bedding.       

Fundraising: Each team member will be given their own fundraising page through Managed Missions.  This will give the students an easy way to send out a link to family and friends to contribute to their trip.
