MISSION PROJECTS IN TIJUANA, MEXICO
 

YMCA Camp Surf offers groups the opportunity to provide service to Mexican YMCAs, schools, and orphanages.  Up to 30 participants can sign-up for 2, 3, or 5 day mission projects in Tijuana, Mexico.  The Camp Surf staff will work with group leaders to arrange the experience.  

How did the activity increase international understanding and/or cultural awareness among your campers and staff?  

When American and Mexican youth work side by side to improve a facility, friendships grow.  Lunch served by the Mexican children’s parents followed by an interpreted sharing circle answers many of the children’s questions plus realizing we are all the same.
