Types of Trips

Due to the political situation in Nicaragua and the impact of the pandemic, our trips are on hold for the time being. Our goal is to resume late in 2022, if it is safe to do so!
Stayed tuned for information as it unfolds! In the meantime, following is information on the trips we will offer.

BUSINESS LEADERS & CORPORATE SPONSORS

Every Business Leader’s trip with BTCC allows the participant an opportunity to sight-see and to get to know more about the beautiful countries where we work. The heart of the week is spent living in the communities where we build houses and working side by side with the families who will live in them. These groups are comprised of members of a connected business community. Our accommodations are safe, secure and basic. Our food is wholesome and plentiful. The week is a time of great fellowship, laughter and hard work. There are tasks for all levels of physical ability. Everyone contributes and everyone makes a difference! Read about our recent Pembridge & Friends trip here. Our Business Leaders / Corporate Sponsored Trips generally require that each trip participant has a Personal Fundraising Goal of $4,000 - recognizing that, as a group, there will be a Team Goal that is equivalent to $4,000 per person. For example, a group of 10 people will have a Team Goal to raise $40,000.

“We all needed each other, and every task fulfilled was equally important as the previous, and as the next. Everybody brought something special to the table to help make a difference in the lives of the families we came to serve. I am absolutely humbled & honoured to have worked alongside such a fantastic bunch, who could take a compilation of personalities, talents, strengths & heart, turning it into teamwork & a family.” – Shannon | Feb 2018

INACT CORPORATE TRIP, NICARAGUA NOV 2017

PARENTS & TEENS

The parent/child trip has made a significant impact on the lives of many young adults. These trips present a remarkable opportunity for a family bonding experience. To coincide with the school season, we schedule these trips during the summer months.

The cost of the trip is $1,395 per person + flight costs that can range anywhere from $800-$1,200 depending on when you book. The trip fee includes the cost of all meals and accommodations while in the DR.

“This trip opened my eyes, and made me appreciate all the amenities that we continuously take for granted. Living in a developed country, we cannot always see the poverty that affects millions worldwide. However, we experienced it firsthand on this trip. It genuinely changed my life and my view of the world, in a way that I will never forget.” – Emily | Aug 2017

In order to give the participant a sense of involvement, we suggest that the group have a goal to fundraise $8,000 – enough to cover the cost of the 2 houses they will build during their visit.

PARENT & CHILD TRIP, NICARAGUA AUGUST 2017

BUILD YOUR OWN TRIP

One of Bridges goals in Nicaragua is to help Canadian volunteers have a life changing, service-learning experience.

Whether you’re a couple, student or church group and want to experience this opportunity, we’re open to having you join us. Or perhaps you are an individual or small group with no affiliation, you too can be a part of one of our amazing trips.

Our goal is to help Canadians discover the immense pride that comes from making a difference for families who face severe poverty and hardship. We are open to everyone who wants to have a life changing experience. To form a group or come as an individual and learn what it’s like to build a house in days, make a concrete difference for a family in need, and create memories that will last a lifetime!

“We knew we wanted to do a trip that was “experiential” and what better way to become immersed in a culture than to work side by side with local masons to create a new environment for a deserving family. We got that and way more. There is a spirit and a warmth in Nicaragua’s mountain communities that certainly touched my heart. These people deserve so much more … but at least two families have the shelter they need. One step at a time, we all have the ability to be the change.” – Susan | April 2018
