Power Trips Inc. runs trips throughout the year in response to interest and requests. Dates vary from year to year, based on the calendar of breaks published by schools coast to coast. Trips are generally organized for high school spring breaks, university student reading weeks, and summer holidays. Proposals for additional trips by special-interest groups are welcomed. Volunteers are encouraged to apply early; spaces are often limited.

Our current and proposed trips to the Dominican Republic are posted below. Dates are subject to change depending on West Jet flight schedules.

Please contact Judy Warrington at judy@powertripsinc.org for more information or if interested in a trip for your organization or community group.
